Writing for the Daily Mail , Rob Draper has reported that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is unlikely to want to sign Manchester United's 37- year-old forward Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
Ronaldo has reportedly requested that the Red Devils let him leave this summer should an acceptable bid arrive for the player.
His agent, Jorge Mendes, is now approaching the big clubs in Europe to offer his client's services. While Ronaldo remains one of the best players in the world to ever play the game, at 37, he might be finding it tough to get new suitors.
Draper wrote in his Sunday column that Chelsea are among the few clubs reported with a transfer link to Ronaldo. This was initially set in motion when Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes reportedly met Chelsea's new owner Todd Boehly.
They discussed several things in the meeting, among which one topic was the potential signing of Ronaldo. It is believed that the new owners at Stamford Bridge are keen to make a statement signing to announce their arrival in the Premier League.
Ronaldo does fit the bill.
However, Draper believes that the deal could face a stumbling block in the form of Blues manager Thomas Tuchel. Boehly is believed to be leaning heavily on Tuchel's inputs in the transfer market.
The German coach, according to Draper, is unlikely to be 'fooled by a nostalgia trip' signing to get Ronaldo to the club.
It is believed that the Blues are keen to sign a forward who can press from the front, and Ronaldo is unlikely to be that option.
