According to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly met with Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes in Portugal last week. Whilst there have been no official links between the Blues and Ronaldo, the reports suggest the idea of a possible transfer was discussed.
After an underwhelming season from Manchester United, it is understandable if Ronaldo were keen to leave them this summer. The player is undoubtedly one of the best in the world with openly high standards for the game. At 37 years old, he still managed 24 goals in 38 games for the Red Devils - the highest amongst his teammates (14 more than Bruno Fernade,s who was 2nd on the list). Despite finishing the season as top goalscorer for United, there were still doubts about his compatibility with the squad. Fans complained that he was disrupting the flow and harmony of the team.
Now, in an ideal world, Ronaldo and Manchester United would be a match made in heaven. The kind of homecoming that Chelsea expected with Romelu Lukaku. However, if Ronaldo would like a move to the west side of London, I’m sure he’d fit right in.
