Chelsea linked with surprise move for Cristiano Ronaldo

Chelsea have been associated with shock summer move for Real Madrid sensation Cristiano Ronaldo, according to a report.

The Ballon d'Or winner is considered to be keen on a return to the Premier League next season, with the Red Devils favourites to clinch his services.

However, a report from the Express claims that the Blues are prepared to do battle with United for the Portuguese star this summer.

It is believed that Mourinho is confident of luring the £60m-rated forward to Stamford Bridge due to his close relationship during their time together at Los Blancos.

Ronaldo has scored 255 goals in 250 games for Real Madrid since his switch from United in 2009.
