Cristiano Ronaldo to Chelsea is certainly a transfer that is gaining plenty of traction and a certain Blues legend has added fuel to the fire on things that may be going on behind the scene in relation to this specific deal.
In their hunt for attacking reinforcements and following the latest and what looks like being terminal blows in the current World Champions' pursuits of Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha respectively, new owner Todd Boehly has turned his attentions seemingly to two of the biggest stars currently in the game. Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are two players in a crossroads stage of their own careers for separate reasons. CR7 is wanting to continue his 19-season love affair with the Champions League and make it 20 consecutive involvements in a row. Something he cannot do with current club Man United who finished in the Europa League places under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick last season.
Meanwhile, the Brazilian international is seemingly not wanted anymore by Paris Saint-Germain who themselves want to make a fresh start following an in-depth review of the club has led to much change off the pitch already this summer with both Christophe Galtier and Luis Campos coming in at the expense Mauricio Pochettino and Leonardo. Whether one or even both end up at different clubs come September 1 remains to be seen but Chelsea's current struggles in this summer's transfer window is making the prospect of seeing one of these 'Galacticos' in Blue next season more of a realistic dream.
