Former player William Gallas said that Chelsea made a mistake by not signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
At the end of 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo is on his way to leave Man United after irreparable conflicts with coach Erik Ten Hag.
At that time, Chelsea was also in dire need of a high-class goalscorer and the suggestion to recruit the Portuguese superstar was made. But CR7 eventually went to Saudi Arabia to play for Al Nassr and questions arose about why the Blues did not sign this player.
Former Blues defender Willam Gallas stated as follows:
“Chelsea made a mistake by not signing Cristiano Ronaldo. He is willing to sign and Chelsea would be a good club for him. Everyone knows how important Ronaldo is in the dressing room , he has a winning mentality and that can benefit the team. It was a mistake by Chelsea.”
In the following summer market, Chelsea continued to spend heavily on new recruits by bringing in players like Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku to strengthen their attack, but so far they have not been able to guarantee goal output. There is information that the home team at Stamford Bridge wants to recruit Osimhen and Gallas also gave his opinion:
“Victor Osimhen to Chelsea? One player will not make a difference and change things around Chelsea. Even when buying a striker, you have to make sure that the players around him have enough quality to provide grant to that striker. We have to see how many goals Nicolas Jackson will score, currently he has 8. If Jackson cannot score 15 goals or more in the Premier League then Chelsea should consider moving buy a top striker, because currently they don’t have one.”
“Nicolas Jackson has to prove it now. If he doesn’t score 15 to 20 goals in the Premier League, it will be difficult for him to keep a place in the team next season. Need to take advantage of the opportunity, that’s what necessary to play at a big club like Chelsea.”
While Chelsea is always ready to spend money on any move for Napoli striker Osimhen, the recruitment fee will not be cheap. Furthermore, Chelsea still has the risk of facing a financial fairness penalty.
