JAKARTA - Chelsea will most likely sign Cristiano Ronaldo in the winter transfer window after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar ends this year.

Ronaldo was on the Blues' radar during this summer's transfer window. Club owner Todd Boehly is said to want to include the Portuguese superstar in his project.

However, the American businessman's intentions failed because former coach Thomas Tuchel refused the opportunity to bring in the 37-year-old player. Tuchel reasoned that the former Real Madrid player did not fit his philosophy.

Tuchel who insisted on rejecting Ronaldo's presence made Boehly hot. The difference of opinion was later seen as one of the factors in Tuchel's dismissal from the coaching chair, in addition to the club's poor performance at the beginning of the season.

The exit of the German coach made the opportunity for the Blues to get Ronaldo's signature again open. Boehly was able to realize his ambition to make Ronaldo a major project under new coach Graham Potter.

According to reports from Fichajes, Chelsea is expected to make a bid for Ronaldo in the nearest January. Ronaldo would gladly accept the offer.

As is known, Ronaldo was eager to leave Manchester United last summer. This desire is because he wants to find a club that is competing in the European Champions League this season.

However, until the transfer window closed Ronaldo could not engineer his move to a new port. He also became more of a bench warmer for the Red Devils.

Under the direction of new coach Erik ten Hag, the veteran striker has started just one Premier League game so far. He also hasn't netted a single goal in six appearances so far.

Ronaldo's fortunes are currently very ambiguous compared to his inaugural season at Old Trafford after arriving from Juventus last summer. At that time, he recorded 24 goals in 38 matches in all competitions for the Red Devils during the 2021/2022 season.

This season, apart from in the English Premier League, Ronaldo has also been sluggish in Europe. He failed to score when Manchester United lost 0-1 at Real Sociedad in the Europa League group stage on Friday, September 9 early this morning.
