Chelsea is rushing to complete the first transfer deals under new owner Todd Boehly, among them Cristiano Ronaldo.
Chelsea is still operating quite quietly in this summer transfer window. All that has changed at Stamford Bridge so far is that they have parted ways with the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Saul Niguez.
Sterling is only “one step away” from Chelsea
Captain Cesar Azpilicueta and left-back Marcos Alonso are also on their way to leave Stamford Bridge, the next destination of the Spanish duo is likely to be Barcelona. In the opposite direction, Chelsea have not had any notable signings other than the return of Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja and Ethan Ampadu after the end of the loan contract.
However, some positive news for Chelsea fans has appeared in recent days. The first is that Raheem Sterling is likely to become the first signing of “The Blues” in this summer transfer window.
According to Sky Sports and many other sources, a deal is imminent after Chelsea agree personal terms with Sterling, and “The Blues” are expected to pay Man City around £ 45 million in exchange for his services. England players.
Ronaldo is more than capable of replacing the position left by the “bomb” Lukaku
But most notably, Chelsea is becoming one of the strongest candidates to have the opportunity to own Ronaldo since the Portuguese superstar asked to leave MU this summer. The 37-year-old player has scored 24 goals and is a rare bright spot in the disappointing “Red Devils” team last season. CR7 wants to continue playing in the Champions League, which MU cannot give him next season.
And yet, Chelsea also have the opportunity to recruit Juventus midfielder Matthijs De Ligt this summer. At just 22 years old, the Dutch international could be the heart of the “Blues” defense for many years to come. However, Juventus are in no hurry to sell as De Ligt still has two years left on his contract, which includes a release clause worth up to £103m.
On this occasion, the Giveme Sport page has made a prediction about the main Chelsea squad next season if “The Blues” successfully recruit Ronaldo, Sterling and De Ligt. Accordingly, Ronaldo will kick the highest in the 4-3-3 diagram of coach Thomas Tuchel, while Sterling plays in the position of the right winger. Meanwhile, De Ligt partnered with old general Thiago Silva in the center of defence. This squad is fully capable of challenging Man City and Liverpool in the Premier League race next season.
