A surprising revelation has been brought to light this Saturday by 'The Athletic'. Todd Boehly, Chelsea's new chairman after the sale of the club, met with Jorge Mendes at a lunch at which the name of Cristiano Ronaldo came up.
The departure of Marina Granovskaia has left the sporting directorate a little short-handed, although the person in charge of making the Blues squad will stay until the market closes. So, Boehly is the one in charge.
The president met last week in Portugal with Jorge Mendes, one of the most important international agents with a large number of clients.
At that lunch, Cristiano Ronaldo's name came up. The Portuguese, despite having said in public that he is happy at Manchester United, is not happy about the fact that he will not be playing in the Champions League next season.
Added to this is the fact that the Red Devils have yet to confirm any signings ahead of the 2022-23 season, despite the fact that Frenkie de Jong is close to arriving at Old Trafford.
Chelsea are not the only club to have been linked with Cristiano Ronaldo in recent weeks, with Bayern Munich also looking at losing an incredible goalscorer such as Robert Lewandowski.
Thus, Cristiano Ronaldo's name has once again been linked with another of the teams that will be playing in the Champions League next season.
