Chelsea have decided not to make any attempt to sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer as a replacement for Romelu Lukaku.
New co-owner Todd Boehly met with Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes in Portugal last month and the possibility of acquiring the forward was one of many subjects discussed.
Chelsea have completed the £47.5 million signing of Raheem Sterling this week and he is being earmarked to be a major focal point of Chelsea’s frontline.
The club also have a number of other options to choose from who can play in attacking positions including Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Talented youngster Armando Broja, who is wanted by the likes of West Ham United, Newcastle United and Everton, was on the same flight as Sterling to Los Angeles and has begun training with the squad.
Tuchel’s spending is going to continue with defender Kalidou Koulibaly having a medical in London today ahead of a £34 million move from Napoli. Chelsea are also in talks with Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain Nathan Ake and Presnel Kimpembe respectively.
