According to reports from Spain, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard could continue his spending spree by signing five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo. The report claims the Blues are ready to sign Ronaldo for €120 million this summer.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid attacker has two years remaining on his Juventus contract. While the report stirred excitement from some fans, many are not buying talk of Ronaldo’s proposed move to west London.
Here are comments of Chelsea fans excited about the report:
“Ronaldo is coming to Chelsea???!!!” One person tweeted. And another added: “Wait is Ronaldo coming to Chelsea??” While a third wrote: “Cristiano Ronaldo to Chelsea here we go.”
Here are comments of Chelsea fans not in support of the move:
“The idea Ronaldo going to Chelsea is comical,” one supporter said. Another added: “Buying a washed out Ronaldo for the same price that you could get a future ballon d’or winner in Sancho is such a Chelsea thing to do.”
A third commented: “Of course it is, don’t see Chelsea paying £120m for a 35 year old yes it’s Ronaldo but for that money plus age I doubt it.”
While a further user tweeted: “Where are these talks about Chelsea offering for Ronaldo coming from? I’m not taking them seriously but there’s no smoke without a flame right?”
