Did You Know?

• Ronaldo has scored over 50 goals for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League since joining the club in early 2023.
• Currently, Christiano Ronaldo remains the all time goal scorer for potugal both dead and alive. He currently holds the record with a total of 128 goals and it looks like he is not stopping there anytime soon.
• Chelsea’s Club World Cup appearance comes by virtue of their 2021 UEFA Champions League triumph, despite recent underachievement in Europe.

What Was Said?

Ronaldo to Chelsea is more like a mirage at the moment as there is no official statement from Chelsea regarding such a transfer move. However, different critics and pundits have come out to pour some chilled water on that to avoid the rumors spreading and demands from fans who will love to see Ronaldo in the blue jersey. The whole general consensus on this is the fact that Ronaldo is already old despite him still having the goal-scoring ability which we all have seen at Al-Nassr this few years. His age and playing style do not align with what Maresca is trying to achieve at Chelsea. Currently, Chelsea is more focused on youth development, high-intensity pressing, and long-term squad building.

Some of the top former football professionals and analyst have described the rumors as some kind of "a marketing stunt" that would cause more disruption than benefit, especially in a team that already faces heavy scrutiny and pressure to perform.

What's Next?

Currently, Chelsea is focused on top 4 so they can play the Champions League and with a high hope of winning the Europa Conference League against Real Betis. However, despite the fact that the club world cup offers a chance for global spotlight, it appears unlikely that the Blues will divert from their project to accommodate a short-term Ronaldo reunion with the Premier League.
