The reports claim that PSG don't feel there is room for him in the team and that the club doesn't have enough space on their wage bill to pay him.

There are also concerns that new manager Christophe Galtier cannot fit Ronaldo into his style as he is planning to start a season with using a back three.

The former Nice coach may already struggle to find ways to play Neymar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe together in his preferred formation, so a move for Ronaldo would not make sense.

Why Chelsea Are ‘Reluctant’ to Sign Manchester United Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo

Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Tuchel has fears over how the signing can impact his side and believes it can cause the same issue for him as it did for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United last year.

The report claims that Tuchel isn't convinced whether Ronaldo can fit into his style as he is planning on operating a very fluid attacking line next season.

The German gaffer is worried after seeing how Cristiano’s acquisition ruined the balance of United and upset their young attacking players.

While Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is very keen on the move knowing the profits it would bring, he will allow Tuchel to have the final say on any acquisitions.
