Thomas Tuchel laughed ‘I will not tell you’ when asked if Chelsea will sign Cristiano Ronaldo

A coy When asked by a fan if Chelsea will sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, Thomas Tuchel laughed before responding, “I will not tell you.”

Ronaldo notified Manchester United that he wants to leave the team for a second time during the current transfer window, therefore his future at the club is still uncertain.

The 37-year-old is concerned that, after United missed out on qualifying for the Champions League in his first season back at Old Trafford, he will not be able to compete for the major honours with the club.

The Blues are reportedly considering signing Ronaldo, according to reports in The Athletic earlier this month, but Sportsmail understands Tuchel has concerns about the impact he would have on a fluid and dynamic frontline.

However, the Chelsea head coach refused to rule out a move for Ronaldo with a wry smile in video posted on Instagram by user @chelsea tid.

Tuchel was signing autographs for fans when one of them inquired, “Do we sign Cristiano Ronaldo?”

I will not tell you, he then retorted with a wide grin on his face.
