Chelsea and Barcelona both exploring Cristiano Ronaldo deal – The Athletic


 Cristiano Ronaldo may have chosen now to go public about his desire to leave Manchester United because a deal may already be in place with Chelsea.

The Atlantic  whose David Ornstein was the one to  break the news that Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes was talking to other clubs about a possible transfer, claims that sources close to the club have described the timing of the announcement as “awful”.

Reporters Lauire Whitwell and Pol Ballus claim that Chelsea are “giving proper consideration to signing him.”

The article follows the same reporter Whitwell’s claims yesterday that interim manager Ralf Rangnick had advised the club to sell Ronaldo in January, to avoid this situation from occurring.
