Chelsea are "one step closer" to signing Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, according to reports. The Portugal international has been heavily linked with an exit as he looks to continue competing in the biggest competitions.
There appears to have been some appreciation from the Blues' hierarchy for the forward. New owner Todd Boehly held talks with agent Jorge Mendes, where discussions over the possibility of a switch to west London was mentioned.
It comes at a time where Thomas Tuchel is looking to bolster his forward line. The German coach struggled to find consistency out of his attacking unit last campaign, with a number of squad players set to leave, spearheaded by the high-profile loan exit of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan.
