Despite only rejoining Manchester United last summer, Cristiano Ronaldo hopes to leave Manchester United this summer. The Portuguese star demands that the Old Trafford club respect his wishes and accept any suitable offer during this transfer window. The 37-year-old scored 18 goals in the Premier League last season, but it was not enough to help the Red Devils finish in the top four, meaning United will play in next season's Europa League on Thursday night. Ronaldo has made it clear that he will continue to play in the Champions League, so his agent Jorge Mendes started talks with clubs across Europe.
Bayern Munich and Napoli have been linked, although Serie A teams do not believe they have any chance of signing him, as reported by British media, Chelsea are another team open to signing Ronaldo team. Todd Boly has promised Tuchel that only players he wants to sign will be brought in, meaning Ronaldo may not come to Stamford Bridge as the German manager is not convinced. However, Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. However, if the Blues are serious about pursuing Ronaldo, they should proceed with caution as his arrival could affect the fate of the club's best players.
Mount has won Chelsea's "Player of the Season" award for two consecutive years and has proven that he is currently Chelsea's most efficient and influential player. Although some among Chelsea fans have been doubting his quality, Mount has been a consistent player under Lampard and Tuchel and arguably remains the most important player on the roster. name. However, if Ronaldo joins, this may greatly affect his scoring ability. One thing that has plagued Mount during his first two seasons in the Chelsea first team is his lack of scoring opportunities. Despite his excellent ball control, he only contributed 25 goals and assists in 73 games in his first two years at Stamford Bridge. However, he will show his talents in the league in the 2022-23 season. With 21 goals in 32 Premier League games, Mount became Chelsea's most efficient striker and a key element in qualifying for the Champions League again.
However, Mount may be affected if Ronaldo joins. Sure, the pair could form an impressive bond on the pitch, but Ronaldo's recent experience suggests that may not happen. This is because as Ronaldo joined Juventus and Paulo Dybala and Bruno Fernandez the data dropped sharply. Take Dybala as an example. The Argentinian contributed 27 goals and assists in 32 Serie A games in the 2017-18 season. In the 30 games of the season with Ronaldo, the number of goals dropped. to 7.
As for Fernandez , after Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford, his performance also declined. From 29 goals in the league in the 2020-21 season to 16 goals in the 2021-22 season, Fernandez has felt Ronaldo's presence. While Ronaldo's goalscoring numbers are still very good at 307 years old, he does need a system change that could negate the strength of those closest to him on the pitch. As a talented coach, Tuchel can adjust his system to accommodate Ronaldo and keep Mount's offensive efficiency, but this will require a huge effort without any guarantee of results.
