Does Tuchel’s Smile suggest Chelsea Will Move for Cristiano Ronaldo?

In response to a fan’s question on whether Chelsea will sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, a coy Thomas Tuchel laughed before replying, “I will not tell you.”

The 37-year-old Ronado is concerned that, after United missed out on qualifying for the Champions League in his first season back at Old Trafford, he would not be able to fight for the major honours with the club.

Therefore, he notified the club of his intentions to leave leaving his future at the Old Trafford uncertain.

As a result, several elite European teams, including Chelsea, have been considering a possible transfer recently.

The Blues are reportedly considering signing Ronaldo. However,  it’s understood that Tuchel has concerns about the impact he would have on a fluid and dynamic frontline.

Moreso,  the Chelsea head coach refused to rule out a move for Ronaldo with a wry smile in video posted on Instagram by user @chelsea tid.

Tuchel was signing autographs for fans when one of them inquired, “Do we sign Cristiano Ronaldo?”

” I will not tell you”. Tuchel then retorted with a wide grin on his face.

After making a club-record purchase for Chelsea this summer for £97.5 million, Tuchel will need a new center striker.

On paper, it would seem like Ronaldo is precisely what the Blues are missing at the center of their attack because he scored 24 goals for a United team in chaos last season.

Although Tuchel hopes to have a frontline that is adaptable and fluid like Jurgen Klopp’s outstanding Liverpool team, Tuchel is worried that the former Real Madrid and Juventus forward’s presence might interfere with his plans.

Many believe that despite his impressive goal total, Ronaldo really detracted from the effectiveness of United’s offense last season, which led to the team’s sixth-place finish.

His Old Trafford contract is still in effect, and the Red Devils’ management is emphatic that a sale will not be approved during the summer transfer season.

But despite his absence from preseason workouts for “family reasons,” they would still need to make a significant choice if Chelsea made their rumored interest in them real.
