Didier Drogba drops a major clue about Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer on Instagram amidst Chelsea rumors

The move of Cristiano Ronaldo to Chelsea is undoubtedly getting a lot of steam, and a certain Blues great has thrown gasoline to the fire about potential behind-the-scenes negotiations for this particular transaction.

The reigning World Champions’ chases of Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha have just suffered what appear to be lethal blows, and in their search for offensive reinforcements, new owner Todd Boehly has shifted his focus to what appear to be two of the brightest names in the game right now. Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are athletes whose careers are at a crossroads for various reasons.

To make it 20 straight appearances in the Champions League, CR7 wants to extend his 19-season romance with the competition. With his current team, Man United, who placed in the Europa League last season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, he is unable to do this.

Several media publications have stated that the West London club is now debating whether to make a bid for the 37-year-old this summer. United’s illustrious number 7 himself is supposedly “open” to the transfer.

Ronaldo, who is now away from Man Utd preseason for a second day due to “family concerns,” according to The Athletic, was seen on Monday at the Portuguese National Teams’ training facility in Lisbon, which further added to rumors that he would leave Old Trafford soon—but would it be to Chelsea?

Although there is no doubt that manager Thomas Tuchel admires the Portuguese star, it is “unclear” whether or not the six-time Ballon d’Or recipient will fit into his plans. He could be persuaded to be a little more receptive to this possibility by a particular Chelsea legend. Didier Drogba has unintentionally given a significant transfer hint at exactly the same moment as all of this speculative activity.
