Ronaldo could have been a good signing for Chelsea

Former Chelsea star, Frank Leboeuf, in a recent statement, opened up on what it would have looked like if the club had signed Cristiano Ronaldo last summer.

Leboeuf stressed that signing Ronaldo from Manchester United would have been a ‘good idea.’

Recall that the Blues were strongly linked with transfer moves for Ronaldo during the summer transfer window.

There were reports at that time that Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly had agreed to sign Ronaldo but the transfer failed to happen because of former manager Thomas Tuchel’s disapproval.

“I think Chelsea signing Cristiano Ronaldo would’ve been a good idea in the summer when Todd Boehly was suggesting they were interested. But I am certain that Tuchel would have been against the idea because of how it turned out when he was dealing with [Kylian] Mbappe and Neymar as megastars at PSG and he would not have wanted to relive that experience,” Leboeuf told Fair Betting Sites.

“I really thought Ronaldo could have been a good signing for the club commercially because clearly, Ronaldo is worldwide in terms of his marketability, but in terms of on a football level, I am not so sure.”
