Chelsea have been told to reconsider making a move for Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo as he 'ticks all the boxes' for Thomas Tuchel.
The Blues were touted to sign Ronaldo after his agent Jorge Mendes held a meeting with Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly. Thomas Tuchel passed on the chance to sign the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and is now keen on securing a deal for Barcelona star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, football.london understands.
Reports suggest the west London outfit could now face competition from United for Aubameyang's signature with Barca looking to sell one of the Gabon international and Memphis Depay to aid their financial situation. Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has urged Chelsea to sign Ronaldo before the transfer deadline with Erik ten Hag thought to have changed his mind about keeping the 37-year-old at Old Trafford.
