Pundit finally reveals the real secret why Boehly wants to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to Chelsea
Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United has once again been linked to Chelsea today, and one pundit argues why the Blues should make the move.
Todd Boehly and Jorge Mendes are in discussions about bringing Ronaldo to Stamford Bridge this summer, according to David Ornstein.
This follows reports that CR7 wanted to leave Old Trafford this summer because the club didn’t play any Champions League games, according to reports.
United’s desire to keep him means that it is still unclear whether this deal will take through, but one analyst has explained why he would be a good addition to Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
Noel Whelan claimed in an interview with Football Insider that signing Ronaldo would increase their revenue significantly.
“This will be the first season Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t played in the Champions League.
“I’m pretty sure he thought in his mind that when he went to Manchester United last season, and signed for them, that they would make the top four.
“It’s not been a great season for Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s been frustrating for him. He didn’t enjoy the role that he played at times but still finished top scorer.
“Players like Ronaldo are marquee players, they are marquee signings, marquee names and not only do they bring something special to the football pitch, they bring a marketing tool with them which earns the football club a lot of money in shirt sales so there’s many reasons why you can see Chelsea wanting Cristiano Ronaldo at their club.
“Maybe, after last season, Ronaldo might want a move to a club that’s playing in the Champions League because that’s his tournament, that’s where he shines a lot.“
