Chelsea have been given the green light to complete a move for striker Cristiano Ronaldo on a free transfer amid contract offers from other teams. The 37-year-old recently became a free agent after having his contract mutually terminated at Manchester United following his controversial interview with Piers Morgan.
"I feel betrayed," Ronaldo told Morgan as part of an interview for TalkTV and the Sun. "Some people don't want me here not only this year, but last year too." With those actions causing an exit from Old Trafford, the Portugal international will be free to discuss a move with any club.
However, focus will currently be on the World Cup, where he and his Portugal side have already earned a place in the last 16 of the competition. In just two matches in the tournament, Ronaldo has managed to match his tally for the Premier League season with one goal.
