Chelsea will not prioritise a deal for Cristiano Ronaldo in January as they continue to pursue AC Milan forward Rafael Leao.
The Blues came close to completing a move for the Manchester United veteran during the summer, only for then-manager Thomas Tuchel to favour Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang instead. However, with Ronaldo’s situation at Old Trafford looking to be resolved in January, links with the Blues are circulating once more.
But it has since been reported that Chelsea manager Graham Potter would rather prioritise a deal for Leao in just over two months’ time. However, rivals United have thrown a spanner in the works with their own interest in the Portuguese.
