Chelsea target Cristiano Ronaldo puts his thumb up

Cristiano Ronaldo is ‘very tempted’ by the prospect of joining Chelsea, while a huge offer from Liverpool will not fluster one Serie A club…

 

WHERE WILL RONALDO END UP?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is still very much undecided with a journalist now claiming he would be ‘very tempted’ to join Premier League side Chelsea.

With Amrabat currently only earning €1.8m a season, Liverpool would be able to vastly increase his salary to land the Morocco midfielder. However, Fiorentina director Daniele Prade has been quoted as saying: “Amrabat, we hold on to it.”

And now Fiorentina News (via Sport Witness) claim that the Viola…
