Thomas Tuchel has hinted that Chelsea are considering moving Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, but they don’t want to shift their focus to their main target, Raheem Sterling.

England’s £47m arrival from Manchester City was confirmed earlier this week and he will make his non-competitive debut at Club America tomorrow.

However, despite the departure of Romelu Lukaku and the shock availability of United star Ronaldo, Chelsea are unlikely to fill the front row any more.

The 37-year-old is said to have been dissatisfied with United’s performance in the transfer market this summer and does not want to stop playing in the Europa League this season.

New Chelsea owner Todd Boyle is believed to have met Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes earlier in the summer, but after an important meeting between the Americans and Tuchel, the pair resisted the temptation and decided to start bidding. for the top five. The winner of the first Ballon d’Or.

Asked about Chelsea’s interest in Ronaldo, Tuchel told reporters: “Looking at his name… he’s a great player. He’s a great player at another great club in the Premier League.

“On honor, I don’t like other managers talking about their players, so I won’t comment on these players. You should stay there.”

We’re focused on our primary target, Raheem Sterling. We signed Raheem Sterling and everything else remains in a locked room.

On the other hand, tomorrow’s friendly may be premature for Sterling, who trails his teammates before the season, but Tuchel is pleased to host a player of his caliber and reputation.

“He participates in individual programs. Some teams are two weeks ahead of training, double training and intensive training, so they are not participating in the team,” Tuchel said.

“It’s not the time when he participates in team training every minute on the pitch. I know what’s going on, but it’s clear what it offers, and that’s exactly what you see on the pitch.

“I’m absolutely happy he’s here. It’s a new chapter for him and he feels like he’s ready for that chapter in his career.”

“The first days they relax in their individual programs. This is very hard, but the levels are different. He will be training from today (Friday), but he has not done it”.
