Beijing time on July 3, transfer expert Schira reported that Chelsea is preparing to offer Juventus 80 million for De Ligt, and is willing to meet the annual salary of 11 million euros. There is no doubt that this is a big deal, and including Neymar's share, I believe Chelsea is on the verge of saying goodbye to Ronaldo.
Tuchel has always hoped to bring De Ligt to the Blue Bridge, and the player has also made it clear that he hopes to leave Juventus. At present, there is still a certain difference in the transfer fee between Chelsea and Juventus, but the Blues have raised the offer to 80 million euros, and I believe the two parties will be able to reach an agreement soon. Although Dericht has not yet been able to prove himself well, Tuchel has great trust in him.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are still paying attention to Neymar and Sterling. No matter which player is introduced, Chelsea will spend about 50 million in transfer fees, and Todd Burley has promised Chelsea that the cost of summer window operations will be about 200 million euros. Once Chelsea spends a lot of money on De Ligt, Tuchel's signing funds will be very controlled, which will naturally affect the arrival of Ronaldo.
The news that Ronaldo hopes to leave Manchester United detonated the transfer market. It seems to be full of waves, but in fact it is extremely difficult for the Portuguese superstar to leave Old Trafford. Due to the huge annual salary, it is extremely difficult for Ronaldo to find a new club. The previous rejection of and Bayern is a good example. On the surface, Ronaldo's most likely next destination is Chelsea, but once Tuchel turns his attention to De Ligt and Neymar, Ronaldo's joining the Blues can only become a fantasy.
Theoretically speaking, Ronaldo's transfer fee will not exceed 10 million euros, or even lower than this number. But Ronaldo's annual salary is undoubtedly a big obstacle, and his age is there. De Ligt + Neymar will cost Chelsea at least 130 million euros in transfer fees. The annual salary of the two is undoubtedly a greater burden. If Ronaldo is added, Chelsea will break the salary structure in an instant. You know, Kanter, who currently holds the highest salary, only earns a weekly salary of tens of thousands.
A simple calculation shows that Chelsea promised De Ligt an annual salary of 11 million after tax, which is 22 million before tax. Neymar's current annual salary after tax at Paris Saint-Germain is 33 million euros, so cutting his salary to 25 million is an act of kindness, right? But before tax, it is still an astonishing figure of 50 million. If Ronaldo wants to join Chelsea, he must choose to cut his salary. 20 million after tax is a fair choice.
The one-year pre-tax salary of De Ligt and Neymar alone reaches 72 million euros. This is still the starting price. How can Chelsea have spare money to support Ronaldo? To put it bluntly, Ronaldo's star power can offset his salary, but if he can't use the remaining heat, it will inevitably leave a buzz, which is not good for the unity of the locker room at all. It can only be said that there is only one way for Ronaldo to join Chelsea: Tuchel cannot recruit Neymar or Sterling.
