William Gallas has warned Chelsea against the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, with Thomas Tuchel set to encounter a tough dilemma. The Manchester United striker has been heavily linked with an exit from Old Trafford, and the west Londoners have emerged as a likely destination.
football.london understand that the Blues have sounded out a move for the 37-year-old, with Ronaldo keen to ply his trade in the Champions League this season. According to ESPN, the Portugal international is open to a move to Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea remain hesitant as to whether to escalate their interest, with Tuchel believed to have been granted the final say.
Despite Todd Boehly having laid out the groundwork to complete a deal after meeting with super agent Jorge Mendes, the German boss is not convinced. Singing from a similar hymn sheet, former Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur defender William Gallas has warned Tuchel that Ronaldo won't suit the Blues, despite the obvious attraction of a deal.
