Chelsea owner Todd Boehly might be tempted to make a late move to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. Thomas Tuchel is believed to be in the market for a striker before Thursday’s 11pm deadline and Jones reckons that Boehly is still keen on bringing the £27m-rated forward to Stamford Bridge.
With Chelsea’s move for Barcelona ace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hanging in the balance, the Blues might need to potentially look at other options.
One of those could be Ronaldo, who the west Londoners registered an interest in earlier this summer after the 37-year-old expressed his desire to leave following Manchester United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.
This came after Boehly and Jorge Mendes, Ronaldo’s agent, had previously met and discussed the possibility of the Portugal international making the shock move to the capital.
