Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has dead-batted ongoing transfer links with Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo and Bayern Munich frontman Robert Lewandowski — but has not ruled out another high-profile move this summer window.
After finishing third in the Premier League last season, Chelsea have welcomed Raheem Sterling to the club from Manchester City this summer and now want to prioritise defensive recruits, with Kalidou Koulibaly and Nathan Ake on their radar. However, the west Londoners are still yet to offset the loan exit of Romelu Lukaku with any striker incomings.
Following that transfer, Chelsea have been heavily linked with Ronaldo — who wants to leave United this summer — and Poland captain Lewandowski. However, the public stance from Old Trafford is that Ronaldo is not for sale and Erik ten Hag wants to work with him.
