Chelsea To Sign Cristiano Ronaldo In a Player-Plus-Cash Deal

Having been accused of tax evasion, Ronaldo reportedly is upset with how he's being treated in Spain, believing the authorities are keen to make an example of him, so he is looking for a move away from La Liga.

The 32-year-old has won it all in Madrid, both individually and for his club, so he's unlikely to feel there is any unfinished business.

He's also been made to feel unappreciated at the Bernabeu, with Ronaldo regularly going through phases when he is jeered and whistled by Real Madrid's fans. And it's difficult to work out why. With 406 goals in 394 appearances, those supporters are unlikely to witness a more successful player wearing their shirt ever again, yet no patience is shown when he goes through drier spells.
Roman Abramovich is plotting a sensational move to bring Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to Chelsea, according the Express.

As the Express report, it was revealed earlier this week that Ronaldo wants to leave the European champions this summer, which has placed Chelsea on high alert.

The Express believe that Abramovich is extremely keen to bring the four-time Ballon D’Or winner to West London, and feels as though signing him could convince Antonio Conte to stay put.

It is reported that Ronaldo will likely cost any potential suitors a whopping £150million, but Abramovich appears to have a plan which would see Chelsea sign the Portugal captain for a lower amount.

According to the Express, Abramovich could offer Eden Hazard in exchange for Ronaldo. The Express note that Hazard is a long-term target of Real Madrid, and offering him in exchange for Ronaldo could give Chelsea the advantage in the race to secure his services.
