FOOTBALL: Ronaldo targeted by Chelsea in sensational £70-plus million deal

 
ROMAN ABRAMOVICH is lining up an overhaul at Chelsea — and plans to build a new team around Cristiano Ronaldo. The Stamford Bridge supremo is prepared to make Real Madrid an offer they cannot refuse for the Portuguese superstar. And he is willing to sell Eden Hazard, Nemanja Matic and Oscar to fund the sensational move. Seven defeats in their opening twelve games have seen the Blues flop to 16th spot in the Premier League. And reports in Spain suggest Abramovich sees the three-time Ballon d’Or winner — who has been strongly linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain — as the man to revitalise the faltering champions. The Blues’ nightmare start has led to speculation boss Jose Mourinho could soon be shown the door. Ronaldo, 30, played under Mourinho in Madrid, but Abramovich will push ahead with the deal regardless of whether the Portuguese coach is still at the club.
