When the Portuguese Record announced the other night that Cristiano Ronaldo was dissatisfied with Manchester United and was considering leaving, it was a pretty clear signal.It was Record that was the first to announce that Ronaldo is leaving Real Madrid and wants to go to Juventus. And Record also had reliable information about the Portuguese’s return to Manchester United. When Ronaldo wants something, it is usually Record who places it in public and starts an ‘avalanche’.Ronaldo’s dissatisfaction at United was also an order to his agent Jorge Mendes to let his ‘tentacles’ spread across the market and to consider all possible options. There aren’t many of them yet. Mendes checked the pulse of Bayern, there were some conversations, but there are still no concrete steps and positive signals from Munich.Tonight, the respected island journalist David Ornstein launched an exclusive that there is a story about Cristiano Ronaldo going to Chelsea! It would be one of the most shocking summer transfers…Chelsea owner Todd Boehly met with Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes last week, according to The Athletic 👀Ronaldo to Chelsea was one of the topics discussed 😳 pic.twitter.com/no6cs55bNN— GOAL (@goal) June 25, 2022 New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly had a meeting with Jorge Mendes, where they also discussed Ronaldo’s future and options. There is no concrete offer, but it makes sense for the Blues to be interested in the Portuguese.Chelsea were left without the first striker Romelu Lukaku, and the situation on the market is such that there are not many strikers who could replace the Belgian. Ronaldo is one of the better options. And Chelsea would get time to embark on a planned search for a striker for the future. Plus, the CR7’s style of play is more in line with Thomas Tuchel’s philosophy than Lukaku’s is.It would be a good start for Boehly at the helm of the club. The arrival of Ronaldo is a good advertisement for any club or owner. Boehly has not yet brought any reinforcements to Chelsea and the beginning of his reign with Cristiano Ronaldo as the first purchase would gain a triumphant and attractive character. Chelsea still do not have the first transfer operative after the departure of Marina Granovskaia, Boehly took matters into his own hands and Mendes could ‘sell’ the story about Ronaldo.Sun 03:00: (1.66) Atletico Mineiro (3.70) Fortaleza CE (6.00)The question is whether United would really agree to strengthen the direct competitor, but there are also arguments because of why the Red Devils would like to part with Cristiano after a year. New coach Erik Ten Hag has a long-term project with younger players, and the club’s coffers would be seriously relieved without Ronaldo’s salary, which amounts to around 30 million euros a year. Ronaldo does not have time to wait for United’s return to the top of English and European football, and the passive transfer window so far tells him that he will wait for that. If he stays, of course…Something is definitely happening around Cristiano and it is up to him to go or stay at United. Jorge Mendes took action, shook up the media and is waiting for an offer that would satisfy his most famous client. Chelsea could live with it financially, for sure.
