Ronaldo to Chelsea? The Verdict Lands as Transfer Talks Crackle in Saudi Arabia

Ronaldo and Chelsea: Rumors Debunked

The Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, the Al Nassr forward, has been linked with a summer exit from the club.

He has stirred controversy in Saudi Arabia after reportedly refusing to take part in some matches, arguing that the policy of the Saudi Public Investment Fund leaves his team with less backing than Al Hilal.

News of Karim Benzema's move from Al Ittihad to Al Hilal before the winter window closed angered Ronaldo and sparked a show of defiance.

Fabrizio Romano, the transfer market expert, said in a live YouTube broadcast: "I see someone asking about Ronaldo to Chelsea, and I don't know where that story comes from."

He added: "But I will answer about Ronaldo and Chelsea, because many people have asked me in recent days. I think there might have been a link to Ronaldo moving to England, but these reports are completely false; there is nothing at all between Ronaldo and the Blues."

Earlier Portuguese reports claimed Ronaldo has a clause in his Al Nassr contract allowing unilateral termination in June 2026, despite renewing until 2027.
