Cristiano Ronaldo submits late Chelsea transfer request
The Blues have just under 48 hours to complete their transfer business and we bring you the latest news on Cristiano Ronaldo, Frenkie de Jong and Wilfried Zaha.
The Blues have made some big splashes in the transfer market so far, but with very limited time left, there is still need for additions to be made in all areas of the pitch. Wesley Fofana is expected to be the first of the aforementioned three through the doors as his move is expected to be confirmed on Wednesday morning.
The 37-year-old is putting the brakes on any potential Napoli move in the hope that the Blues will make a last-minute call to agent Jorge Mendes for his services.
Chelsea were heavily linked to CR7 earlier this summer, but Thomas Tuchel put the brakes on this potential deal as he didn’t believe Ronaldo fit the right profile.
However, it was believed that Tuchel would reconsider his rejection if the Aubameyang deal didn’t come off. Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport have reported that Ronaldo is reluctant to move to Napoli in what could be a swap deal with Victor Osimhen as he prefers a West London switch.
