Contrary to rumors that have circulated in recent weeks, Daily Telegraph journalist Matt Law reports that Chelsea do not currently have plans to sign Cristiano Ronaldo during the winter transfer window.
The Englishman revealed it in a tweet on his official account. He stated:
"Chelsea currently has no plans to pursue a signing of Cristiano Ronaldo. I don't anticipate that changing, but with football I've come to believe that everything is possible."

Currently, thePortuguese is without a club and is expected to find himself a new destination for the remainder of the season. Amid the ongoing World Cup, the player's agent Jorge Mendes is expected to be working on sorting his client's future ahead of a January move.
Chelsea have been rumored to be among the former Manchester United superstar's next destinations over the last few weeks. Owner Todd Boehly is said to be interested in luring Ronaldo to Stamford Bridge and even tried to explore the option during the summer transfer window.
However, Blues manager Graham Potter is apparently not keen on signing the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. As per the Daily Mail, the English tactician is opposed to bringing the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to Chelsea.
It is still unclear which club will end up being Ronaldo's next destination. The attacker has also been linked with a move to Newcastle United as well as Saudi Arabian outfit Al Nasr. A return to his boyhood club Sporting Lisbon or even a switch to the MLS can't be ruled out at this point.
