Chelsea are said to be more inclined to sign Manchester United’s wantaway star Cristiano Ronaldo after hiring Graham Potter as their head coach.
Ronaldo was eyed up by the Stamford Bridge camp in this summer’s transfer window amid uncertainty over the Portuguese staying put with Man United who failed to qualify for the Champions League.
Then Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, however, was not sold on the idea of signing Ronaldo as the former was on the lookout for a more agile option in the attacking third after parting ways with Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner earlier in the summer.
Tuchel’s sacking last month, which paved the way for Chelsea to bring in Graham Potter, could be the turn of events which have reignited Chelsea’s interest in signing the Old Trafford rebel Ronaldo, according to a report from ESPN.
It is believed that Potter would be willing to green light a move for the 37-year-old superstar with the newly appointed Chelsea manager expected to dip into the market for a fresh face to bolster his front line.
