The recent revelation by David Ornstein that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly visited super agent Jorge Mendes in Portugal last week is one of the most explosive tales of the summer thus far.
Nothing they discussed, however, was more important than the prospect of Cristiano Ronaldo joining Chelsea.
The 37 year old returned to Manchester United last summer amongst much fanfare, but despite scoring a lot of goals, was unable to stop their slide back into mediocrity.
Ornstein is careful to say that it’s “unclear if Chelsea will pursue” the links, which probably means there’s nothing to it, but it’s a juicy possibility.
Ronaldo is said to be unhappy about a lack of transfer activity at Manchester United – one can only imagine he would have similar concerns were he at Chelsea right now.
He’s on a colossal wage, and would cost money to buy from Man U. It’s hard to see it happening – but what other Mendes clients might we see on the move?
