Graham Potter has been warned against signing Cristiano Ronaldo despite Todd Boehly's strong interest in the former Manchester United star. The 37-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge on a number of occasions since the American billionaire took control of the club's transfer business.
According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes will offer his client to the Blues, but a move 'remains complicated'. The report confirms that former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was a primary' roadblock' in negotiations last summer, with the German refusing to hold serious discussions over signing the Portugal international.
It's said that Tuchel reached out to Ralf Rangnick to get a second opinion on the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, and he was quickly convinced that signing Ronaldo was not a good decision. Jacobs reported that the former Blues head coach also became very irritable whenever the topic of signing the striker was raised.
