Transfer Gossip! Is Ronaldo moving to Chelsea?
As per unconfirmed reports, Chelsea are ready to step in if Manchester United follow through with their plan to sack Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Blues are desperate to land a goal-scoring option after an inconsistent start to the season under manager, Graham Potter.
Chelsea owner, Ted Boehly is also rumoured to a big Ronaldo fan.
If United’s lawyers give the club the go-ahead to sack Ronaldo after his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, he will become a free agent.
In that case, Ronaldo could move to Stamford Bridge, without a hitch.
United do not want Ronaldo to join a club they view as rivals for a top-four place and are facing a dilemma.
Sporting Lisbon were also hopeful of convincing Ronaldo to rejoin them – until they were dumped out of the Champions League.
