5 transfers that definitely won't happen this year

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo to Chelsea

Too old for Chelsea

Source of this rumour?

And I will end with the most outrageous rumours of them all. The root of this rumour is an easy guess: Don Balon, obviously. They believe that the Portuguese wants to leave Real Madrid for Chelsea in the summer.

Why this won’t happen?

Simply because it is untrue. Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is a star and yes, any team would love to have him. But let’s consider this: he is going to be 33 in February and there is no way that Los Blancos will sell him for cheap.

Meanwhile, Chelsea aren’t actually as big a spender as some of the other clubs. The fact that Alex Sandro isn’t playing for them is a testament to that claim. So, paying around £100million for a 33-year-old is not something Roman Abramovic would do. Ever.

Further, Cristiano Ronaldo, being a Manchester United product, is very unlikely to join a club that closely rivals the club that shaped the player that he has gone on to become. Having expressed his love for United several times in the past, it is highly improbable that a player with Ronaldo's morals would choose to move to a competitor and not back to United.

Cristiano Ronaldo could leave Madrid, but it most definitely won’t be for Chelsea.
