Paul Merson believes Chelsea should try to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United before the transfer window closes on September 1.
Ronaldo, 37, wants to leave Old Trafford this summer to play Champions League football. The Blues, who won the competition in 2021, can offer that after finishing third in the Premier League last season. In contrast, United laboured over the finishing line to end up in sixth and will play in the Europa League.
Chelsea were interested in Ronaldo earlier this summer but never made a move, with Thomas Tuchel ignoring speculation. Yet Arsenal legend and Blues fan Merson is urging his boyhood club to reconsider their position over the coming days.
