Cristiano Ronaldo to Chelsea Rumours Dismissed by Fabrizio Romano

Transfer rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with Chelsea F.C. have been dismissed by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who called the reports completely false. The 41 year old forward, currently playing for Al Nassr FC, has scored 21 goals in 22 matches this season. He is currently recovering from a hamstring injury while speculation about his future continues.

In the latest football news, rumours about Cristiano Ronaldo making a surprise move to Chelsea FC have been strongly dismissed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Portuguese superstar, currently playing for Al Nassr, was recently linked with a sensational return to the Premier League ahead of the 2026-2027 season. However, Romano clarified that the reports are completely false and that there are no negotiations or discussions between the player and the London club.

The speculation began after reports claimed Chelsea might consider signing Ronaldo if he accepted a huge wage reduction from his current £3.5 million per week salary. At present, Chelsea captain Reece James is the club’s highest earner with a weekly salary of £250,000, which is around £13 million per year. Such a major pay gap made the proposed transfer unlikely from the start. Meanwhile, the 41 year old forward has been performing strongly in Saudi Arabia, scoring 21 goals in 22 matches this season for Al Nassr.

Recently, he also returned after a brief absence and scored 2 goals in a 4-0 victory over Al Hazem. However, Ronaldo is currently dealing with a hamstring injury that forced him off during a league match. The issue could affect his availability for upcoming international fixtures with Portugal national football team as well as preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
