Chelsea Transfer News: Mourinho Wants Cristiano Ronaldo At Stamford Bridge
The Daily Mail that they could be set to hijack any potential move to bring the Portuguese superstar to Old Trafford. Expected returning Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has already apparently started putting his list of summer targets together for his comeback at Stamford Bridge and his current Madrid playmaker Ronaldo is right at the top of it. Last night, the £80 million rated Ronaldo was sent off in Madrid's Copa Del Rey final defeat to local rivals Atletico Madrid. Mourinho too was sent to the stands by the referee during an ill-tempted affair. Could the defeat have been both men's last game at Bernabeu in Madrid colours? With Rafa Benitez saying this week that Chelsea will spend big, Ronaldo could potentially be lured to London. However, the Portuguese star is understood to prefer a move to Old Trafford and Manchester United also have first option on any deal for him. Chelsea's financial clout though could mean that he ends up back with Mourinho. Ronaldo isn't the only target that could anger Manchester United fans. Chelsea also have huge interest in signing Wayne Rooney, a player who most Reds fans want to remain at Old Trafford. Ronaldo and Rooney are also joined on Mourinho's shopping list by Napoli star Edison Cavani who could further reinforce Chelsea's attacking options. Ronaldo's future is very much up in the air, if he leaves Madrid, England seems set to be his destination but whether he goes to Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford is another matter.
