This Monday, Thomas Tuchel gave an enigmatic answer to a fan of the Chelsea when he was asked about Cristiano Ronaldo. In recent days, the English press pointed out that the commander would have vetoed the possible arrival of the 37-year-old Portuguese star.
“Do we sign Cristiano Ronaldo?” asked the Blues fan as Tuchel signed autographs. The Chelsea boss laughed and said, “I won’t tell you.”
At 37 years old, CR7 has one more year of contract with Manchester United. On the other hand, the striker would have wanted to leave the club in order to compete once again for the Champions League.
In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo would be concerned about the lack of ambition of the Red Devils, who made their worst score in the Premier League (58) since the 1989-90 season and have only signed left-back Tyrell Malacia so far.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are aiming to assemble a squad capable of winning the domestic league – having guided the arrival of Sterling. The name of CR7, even, would interest the new owner of the club, Todd Boehly.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Thomas Tuchel does not look favorably on the purchase of CR7. The German coach plans an attack with more mobility with Havertz and Sterling in charge. In addition, the name of Brazilian Raphinha, currently at Leeds, would also be on the agenda to compose the attacking trio.
