Cristiano Ronaldo: Graham Potter Wants 3 Other Strikers to Be Prioritised Ahead of Embattled Man United Star

• Chelsea Head Coach Graham Potter has turned down a chance to add Cristiano Ronaldo to his squad in January
• Potter is said to be interested in other targets like AC Milan's Rafael Leao and Brentford's Ivan Toney
• Potter, who was appointed to take over from Thomas Tuchel, has made a perfect start to his Chelsea life, winning six out of seven games

Graham Potter has reportedly disagreed with Chelsea ownership over Cristiano Ronaldo's potential move to London.

Social media has been awash with reports that Chelsea might make a move for Ronaldo in the January transfer window.

Ronaldo has been a long-term target of Chelsea's co-owner Todd Boehly, who wanted to sign him in the summer. However, the move was blocked by then-manager Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel's decision is believed to have been one of the many reasons why he was eventually sacked in September.

Ronaldo remained at Manchester United but following recent events, the Portuguese international might be looking for a new club in January.

Ronaldo: Boehly won't give up

Boehly has reportedly reignited interest in the five-time Ballon d'Or winner but as Football London reports, he now faces a similar challenge to Tuchel's. New boss Graham Potter is not keen on adding Ronaldo to his squad.

Potter instead wants the club to prioritise the signing of either AC Milan's Rafael Leao, Brentford's Ivan Toney or Lille's Jonathan David.

Boehly is said to be a big fan of Ronaldo and does not just want him for what he offers on the pitch. The American believes Ronaldo's influence can be a huge boost to the club and the star is also the most followed person on Instagram.

Chelsea ready to pursue Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Chelsea could reportedly pursue a stunning January transfer move for troubled Man United attacker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is in the final months of his contract at Old Trafford, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the ongoing season.

While United have the option of triggering a 12-month extension, that is unlikely to happen, especially after the veteran forward fell down the pecking order under Erik ten Hag.
