Chelsea offered chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar as Blues to announced 45M deal in coming days
According to reports, Chelsea has been given the opportunity to sign both Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
Up to six new additions are expected to support Thomas Tuchel this summer as Chelsea looks to improve its defense and attack.
A deal to buy Raheem Sterling from Manchester City is moving forward; the £45 million transfer is expected to be finalised this week in time for Chelsea’s preseason tour of the United States. Attacking acquisitions are on the agenda.
While Ronaldo and Neymar, stars for Manchester United and PSG, have both been connected with moves to Stamford Bridge, other names like Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele are also on people’s radars.
After Man United missed out on Champions League qualification last season and had to settle for a Europa League spot, Ronaldo wants to leave the club this summer in order to continue playing at the top level and in the competition.
Neymar is free to leave PSG in France, and Chelsea has been mentioned as a team that could afford to sign the Brazilian.
Nizaar Kinsella of the Standard has now revealed that the Blues have been given the opportunity to sign both through middlemen.
The potential of signing Ronaldo was one of the subjects that Todd Boehly and Jorge Mendes addressed at their prior meeting.
Ronaldo missed the start of preseason on Monday at Carrington because of “family matters,” a justification that United has accepted.
According to reports, Neymar is considering moving to the Premier League this summer.
It’s unclear, though, if Chelsea would be willing to match his absurdly high claimed salaries of £606,000 per week or his transfer cost if a move were to be made permanent.
According to reports, Thomas Tuchel is hesitant to sign a superstar this summer.
The question is whether the new owners and Chelsea’s head coach will be unable to resist the opportunity and temptation of signing a star player.
He wants to avoid a repetition of Romelu Lukaku’s disastrous club-record return last summer, which resulted in his return to Inter Milan on loan for the 2022–23 season, according to Nizaar Kinsella.
