Chelsea are said to be considering three alternatives to Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the January transfer window. The 37-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge on a number of occasions this season amid an increasingly uncertain future at Manchester United.
Following an explosive interview with Pier Morgan, doubt has been cast as to whether the striker can salvage a relationship with Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag. According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, Jorge Mendes will offer Ronaldo to the Blues, but a move "remains complicated".
The report confirms that Tuchel was a primary 'roadblock' in negotiations last summer, with the German refusing to hold serious discussions over signing the striker. It remains to be seen whether Graham Potter would hold an interest in the five-time Ballon d'Or winner but it's said that Chelsea are already considering a number of alternatives to Ronaldo after a summer switch collapsed.
