According to renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are not considering a move for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugal captain has been linked with an exit from Manchester United after he asked the club for a transfer if a suitable bid arrives. 

Jorge Mendes was in talks with the new owner of Chelsea, Todd Boehly, over a potential move. But now, it seems that first team manager Thomas Tuchel is not keen on bringing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to the club as of right now.

The German has been given more control of transfers due to the change in ownership. And as a result, he has been choosing players that will fit his style of play – mainly to minimise chances of a disaster like Romelu Lukaku happening again. 

The Blues are focused on signing other players right now. [Presnel Kimpembe and Nathan Ake](https://technosports.co.in/2022/07/14/chelsea-looking-at-3-new-centre-back/) are the top targets right now, after the transfers of Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly were finalised. [Serge Gnabry](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1547533309877669888?s=20&t=AR4OnecahQfHEN2NYZzWAw) is also one of the names on the list for the West London side. But, he is negotiating a new contract with Bayern Munich. 

Due to Lukaku’s return to Inter Milan, Chelsea are without a recognised number 9. They are seemingly moving to a False-9 formation led by either Kai Havertz or Raheem Sterling, according to Tuchel himself. And a move for Cristiano Ronaldo would push the team into a different direction.
