Cristiano Ronaldo might start the 2022–23 season as Chelsea's offensive captain at Stamford Bridge.
On Saturday, shocking rumors surfaced claiming that the agent for the Portuguese superstar Jorge Mendes had a meeting with the new Blues owner Todd Boehly last week to discuss his client's potential transfer.
According to reports, Ronaldo's representative has spoken with Chelsea regarding a potential transfer.
How Chelsea might lineup in the upcoming season with five new players
Following a number of exits, Tuchel is seeking to bring in a number of new faces.
Ronaldo is believed to be pleased to remain at Manchester United as Erik ten Hag ushers in a new era.
He is allegedly also upset with how little summer business the Red Devils have done thus far, with no players having arrived.
And the Chelsea connections have drawn a lot of questions, not the least from Blues fans who are wondering how Ronaldo's arrival will affect their starting lineup.
The former Real Madrid and Juventus player would surely be the center of the attack, especially in light of Romelu Lukaku's recent departure as he returned to Inter Milan on loan.
CURRENT BLUES
Chelsea and Cristiano Ronaldo's agency talk about the new Sterling offer.
Raheem Sterling and Ousmane Dembele, two further new forward players, may well join him on either side of the goal.
As he tries to persuade the England international to transfer to London, Thomas Tuchel is rumored to have Manchester City player Sterling towards the top of his wishlist.
Also being keenly watched by Chelsea is Barcelona sensation Dembele, whose contract at the Nou Camp expires later this month.
Both Timo Werner and Kai Havertz may suffer as a result of this.
Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, and Mason Mount, who can also play in the front three, are among the several choices Tuchel still has to pick from in the midfield.
Although he doesn't currently seem close to departing, Jorginho has been linked to a transfer abroad this summer.
In between the posts, Edouard Mendy will almost definitely continue to be Tuchel's first choice.
However, the defense is getting ready for a change.
Both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have previously departed on their own terms.
And in the upcoming weeks, Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta might follow them.
Chelsea and Juventus center-back Matthijs de Ligt have been connected, but they'll have to fend off interest from Man United.
Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago Silva, and Reece James all anticipated to remain in their positions.
Chelsea are considering recruiting Stuttgart left-back Borna Sosa, though, due to the likely loss of Alonso and Ben Chilwell's ongoing recovery from a knee injury.
The Blues will once again be regarded as Premier League title contenders, along with perennial favorites Manchester City and Liverpool, if all five transfers are successful.
