Chelsea Owner Meets With Cristiano Ronaldo’s Agent To Discuss Shock Transfer

Chelsea has had a whirlwind of a week after it was announced that a new board of directors have been selected and Maria Granovskaia will leave the club after 19 years. With Boehly naming himself as interim sporting director. 

And now, Boehly will be busy in the transfer market with the Stamford Bridge club yet to sign any new players in the window. 

It is believed that Ronaldo’s current situation at United and the idea of the Portuguese making a move to Chelsea this summer were amongst the topics of conversation during the meeting between the pair. 

37-year-old Ronaldo is heading into the last year of his current deal at United after he made the sensational return to Old Trafford last summer after leaving the club 13 years ago. 

Ronaldo said in a recent interview: “I was and still am very happy to be here.” 

“I know (Ten Hag) did a fantastic job for Ajax and that he’s an experienced coach but we need to give him time and things need to change the way he wants.”

“I hope we have success. I wish him the best. We are happy and excited. Let’s believe that next year we are going to win trophies. I believe that Manchester (United) will be where they belong. Sometimes it takes time, but I still believe.” 

Chelsea will be in the market for an attacker after agreeing to send Romelu Lukaku back to Inter Milan to a season long loan.

Would Ronaldo shock the football world by leaving United for a direct Premier League rival in Chelsea? Only time will tell.
