Like almost every major market report in the world of football, there are several rumours about Cristiano Ronaldo's next team. First, the newspaper 'Marca' reported that he had given the go-ahead to an offer from Al-Nassr for him to earn around 500 million euros in two and a half seasons. Now, 'Mirror' claims that it is not so clear and that Chelsea are still hopeful of signing him.
Todd Boehly, the chief at Stamford Bridge, is interested in the Portuguese. He would love him to be part of his project, where he wants him to feel at home and valued. This is exactly what was not provided for him, at least according to him, at Old Trafford, where he ended up leaving Manchester United. That is why he is a free agent.
In the heart of the Red Devils, it would be horrible for the Blues to sign him. Moreover, they would have to see him as a rival in the Premier League. This is the reason why the Mancunian club constantly tried to postpone the departure of the '7', which became inevitable after he criticised the club at all levels in a revealing and controversial interview with Piers Morgan. In the aftermath, the board sped up his departure.
'The Mirror' adds that Cristiano Ronaldo is not closing doors, so if Chelsea want to make him an offer, he will consider it. It is well known the hunger he has always shown to aspire to the top despite being close to retirement, so we should not rule out the possibility that he will surprise everyone and continue in the `Premier League... but to play for one of United's biggest rivals.
