"Jorge Mendes has tried pretty much everything" - Journalist gives update on Cristiano Ronaldo's potential move to Chelsea

Journalist Dean Jones has provided an update on Cristiano Ronaldo's potential move to Chelsea. The Portuguese's agent Jorge Mendes is reportedly trying everything he can to secure his biggest client a move to a top club.

However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner appears to be short of options. Jones has claimed that Chelsea are unlikely to make a move for Ronaldo despite Armando Broja being ruled out for the rest of the season.

The journalist told Give Me Sport:

“Jorge Mendes has tried pretty much everything he can to find Ronaldo a new top club but the options just aren’t opening up. Chelsea, even with a spot up for grabs with the Broja injury, still seems unlikely because it would feel like a panic move and everything I’m told says they are trying to avoid that.”

Cristiano Ronaldo has mostly made headlines for the wrong reasons in recent times and is currently looking for a new club. The forward's contract with Manchester United was terminated by mutual consent last month after his shocking interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan.

The former Real Madrid superstar slammed the Manchester United hierarchy in his interview while also aiming digs at Erik ten Hag and club legends who criticized him.

The iconic forward also had a FIFA World Cup campaign to forget as he scored just one goal in five games for A Selecao in Qatar. He was even benched by Fernando Santos for both of Portugal's knockout games.

Chelsea were strongly linked with a move for Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer with new co-owner Todd Boehly being a huge admirer of the superstar. However, a move did not materialize back then with then-manager Thomas Tuchel seemingly against the idea.

As per Marca, the Portuguese has decided to join Al-Nassr and will play for the Saudi Arabian side from January 1. The 37-year-old will reportedly become the highest-paid athlete in the world, earning a whooping €200 million per season, should the move materialize.

Ronaldo became a legend at Real Madrid, winning four Champions League titles and becoming their highest-ever scorer with 450 goals. He won four of his five Ballon d'Ors during his time with Los Blancos.
