Glen Johnson Speaks On Cristiano Ronaldo Becoming a member of Chelsea

Former Chelsea defender, Glen Johnson, has branded the Blues’ reported try to signal Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo as a industrial deal.

It was not too long ago reported that new Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly held a gathering with Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes, the place the potential for bringing the Portugal captain from Man United to Stamford Bridge was mentioned.

Boehly is eager to make a number of marquee signings in his first summer season in command of the West London membership, with Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele and Manchester Metropolis’s Raheem Sterling additionally linked to Chelsea.

However Johnson believes Boehly and his consortium would make the cash they used to signal Ronaldo again in two weeks in the event that they ultimately signed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

“If he goes to Chelsea, then he’d burn his bridges at Manchester United,” Johnson informed GGRecon

“From Chelsea’s perspective, he’s an enormous model and he could also be costly, however you’d most likely make that cash again in two weeks via shirt gross sales. He might break the bank, however the membership would most likely make extra by simply having him. Signing Ronaldo is like signing a industrial deal.

“I don’t suppose Ronaldo can change Chelsea’s fortunes as a participant now, however I feel having him within the dressing room would. On the pitch now, he’s not the Ronaldo all of us need to see, however him being within the dressing room will get one other 5% out of everybody round him.”
