In England, the news resounded that Ronaldo failed to go to Chelsea because of his former coach.
Namely, the new owners of the “Blues” were very interested in the Portuguese, mostly because of marketing, although Tuchel was looking for a striker after Lukaku’s return to Inter and when it was certain that Werner was returning to Germany.
Chelsea still want to complete the deal around Aubameyang at the end of the transfer window, and there is no way they will end up turning to Ronaldo again.
The reason is Ralph Ragnick.
Namely, Tuchel was not delighted with the idea of the Portuguese coming to the club, and he reinforced that position after consulting with the compatriot who, after succeeding Solskjaer, was Cristiano’s coach last spring.
Ragnik said at the end of the season that Ronaldo played well, but that he could not help in pressing, and he did not do that even when he was younger. He said this privately to Tuchel before the statement to the media, who understood that he could not afford to change his tactics because of the Portuguese.
Ronaldo is still looking for a new club, Napoli is mentioned as an exit, but Ten Haag reiterates that the Portuguese will stay even though he has only one game this season, in yesterday’s win against Southampton he replaced Sancho, but it is obvious that the Dutchman makes the team without him, and that he will get a chance from the bench.
