Rumor, there is no certainty in it. After Ronaldo officially parted ways with Manchester United, no one has made an official bid on Ronaldo. The news circulating in print and electronic media is just a figment of the imagination, journalists continue to fry news about Ronaldo to attract reading interest from published news.
Ronaldo who still has big ambitions to appear in the Champions League, will choose a club that can make his dream come true. Chelsea is a good club and is still active in the Champions League, but with the current conditions it is very difficult for Chelsea to win the Champions League.
Don't be too surprised if there will be big news that comes suddenly because when talking about Ronaldo it seems like this always happens like when he comes to Manchester United and of course leaving Manchester United is also included so it's possible to transfer him later would also be a surprise I guess regardless of where he goes.
Ronaldo is largely the centre of attention in the world of football, not only in football but also in the whole Media because he is the highest ever followed human being on the social media. That made his status to be very high and whatever he does will make too much wave in the internet.
Because he is a brand, that is why journalist find it easy to type the name of Ronaldo in their publications in order to attract the attention of millions of people, that is a level Ronaldo is now. I no longer talk publications about him seriously, unless the one he says

no team would ever get tired of being at the top, it makes them money, but of course for City to win the champions league is their main objective, I honestly like how city play, they are a good team they just have been unlucky in the champions league, but this time City were lucky, at least it's not a strong opponent like PSG or bayern, that opponent of theirs, is an obstacle they can win
Not being tired and not being happy is not the same thing. Look at PSG for example, they were champions last year and still fired their manager, why? They keep winning the title almost every year except that one year Lille did, and they still fired their manager, all because they failed to win UCL with that amazing roster.

Still think they didn't get a great manager to be fair, and should have paid as much as Zidane wanted and convince him, but at the end of the day City could be the same. If they win the league, if they fail to win UCL then in that case Pep could be fired, and their fans could be unhappy, not tired of winning the league, but they wanted more.

With the German side investing 17 players in Qatar 2022 world cup, I think the clash with PSG in the round of 16 will be quite challenging for them. Same with a few other clubs like Madrid and  Manchester City. If I'm not betting on the wrong horse, I think  It will be a better advantage for Liverpool, Leipzig, and PSG to escape this champion league phase.

I don't think that would be a factor that would be counted in the knock out stages considering that the players invested by the German side are all fit and non sustain injuries during their play in the world cup.  I just feel the most experienced team will come out victorious when it comes to the champions league. Teams like psg have  been playing for the title since and have failed to achieve this,  maybe due to the inexperienced team players they have but this time i think they can actually make a stand for the title seeing their team now poses players who are hungry for the champions league the same feat goes for Manchester City.

No doubt the stress of the world cup will have a little effect on the teams but most players are currently back to their club sides training seeing to the removal of their country from the competition at an early stage.

I will not support Germany represented by Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Look at what they got at the World Cup and you should know who is the best right now between the Germans and the French players.

PSG is more convincing to beat Germany in the round of 16 especially because they have attackers who are able to maintain their form so far. Messi and Mbappe are still in the semi-finals of the World Cup and both are in contention for the golden boot this time around, but I wouldn't underestimate Bayern Munich in the Champions League considering the club level competition is very different compared to the World Cup.

For years now, Napoli has been absent from serie-a top flight, and Milan and Juventus are considered the league rivals. But viewing from the Start of this season, I'll Complacently say that there is much more sense of consistency in Napoli's winning streak than in other seasons where they always experience improficiency before the end of the season. Has such, I think they will be investing more strength in serie-a than in the champion league since they are already a step closer to their 3rd serie-a title. And with a series of challenging matches they have in January, their possibility of winning the UEFA champion league this season is doubtful.

But on the German side, Bayern Munich has invested more than 15 players in the Qatar 2022 world cup, as such their clash with PSG in the round of 16 may be quite challenging for them. Perhaps with a few other clubs like Madrid and  Manchester City having many players returning from Qatar. If I'm not betting on the wrong horse, I think  It will be a better advantage for Liverpool, Leipzig, and PSG to escape the champion league round of 16.

It is true that Ronaldo as maintained his place as one of the greatest player in football history, but his present in Chelsea current squad is not needed because already , age as affected his form in his former clubs.As such his playing style is quite archaic. Chelsea as been a club that attains victory through team work play, Ronaldo will not be considered fit for the team.
Chelsea never try to confirm if it was interested with ronaldo. There are only so many rumous but these are just rumours. I will not consider rumour as a thing that's gonna be real as long as there are no relable sources who have been confirming it.
Ronaldo itself is still too far to become a candidate as new player for chelsea.

Leipzig can really be the unluckiest team in this round now.  Grin

They are going to play against Manchester City and their chance of getting past the round is pretty slim. Manchester City are like the most favoured team for the Champions League title according to bookmakers. Even their closest opponent in this race has a much bigger odd than them. We can call this as "Haaland effect" maybe. Because since his joining the team I think Manchester City are fully complete now. Leipzig on the other hand have done a good job in the group stage. They even defeated Real Madrid in one of the matches. But things are more serious at this point and I don't expect Manchester City to lose in any of the legs.

I think that the current World Cup should be a good lesson for those who are confident in some results  Wink City have been big favorites to win for several years in a row, but they still do not have a title. Every team has a chance and it would be great if Leipzig went further. I think City have enough of the title of the best club in the world - the shameful award they received at the end of last season  Grin

You have got a point there.  Smiley  We have had really surprising results in this World Cup. Moreover we had another surprise in the Champions League last season. Villarreal made it to the semi finals by eliminating much bigger teams like Juventus and Bayern Munich. They could have even eliminated Liverpool as well.  Grin

Hence football is full of unexpected results indeed. But when we assess this matchup realistically most of us would think the same as me I presume. Manchester City shouldn't have big difficulties in eliminating Leipzig if they are really determined to win the Champions League title this time. If they make us doubt even for once then I won't be as confident as before about their title probability. Manchester City still haven't faced one of the most serious title contenders. We will find out about their real potential in a matchup like that.

Manchester City had a great squad before as well but as you said they still have no title here. But I believe they will finally get it after this Haaland transfer especially.

Yes and also, if Ronaldo in this World Cup can make a big contribution to bring Portugal to the final then I'm still pretty sure Ronaldo will be recruited by a big club who is also competing in the top four. But unfortunately, I don't think Ronaldo's performance has made significant progress, so I doubt Ronaldo will be recruited by the big club as expected.
But regarding Chelsea being interested in Ronaldo, I think that is also true news, but unfortunately, at that time Tuchel refused, even though recruiting Ronaldo was the wish of Todd Boehly himself.
World Cup 2022 only reveals more truth about Ronaldo problems which are actually his body, strength and mindset. He must recognize that he is old enough and can not beat time and ageing.

Therefore, if he want to continue his career, he must make big adaptation, changing his style and even position. He also must accept that he will no longer be a first choice of coaches and less likely be used in a full match. Ronaldo is still useful but must be used differently than one or two seasons ago. Additionally, he should feel happy if his career continues and he still can have chance to play for big clubs and win titles with them.

Ronaldo itself is still too far to become a candidate as new player for chelsea.

Many people are waiting for official news, but remember that Ronaldo may not be out until next year.
If he is still asking for a big salary and selfishly it will be difficult to fit in with the change. As long as this unofficial news spreads. Ronaldo is a double-edged sword, he can help he can also harm. You have to know Manchester United let him go because he was out of control. If Ronaldo is still like this, they should think a lot because of his bad image towards Man United.
Big salary will make clubs not to be interested in him, but if he cuts that big salary down some clubs can be interested in him. It doesn't make any sense for Ronaldo to be collecting such an amount from a club and won't still be able to make the club win trophies.  The big salary results to nothing.

Many expected with Cristiano Ronaldo can playing in UEFA Champion League competition in this season after leaving Manchester United, I don't excited with Ronaldo after poor performance with Portugal in World Cup. Still not have official news from Cristiano Ronaldo about his future club and not closed rumor yet which one become new team for Ronaldo.
Ronaldo will be so difficult to find a new team after world cup. There are still so many speculations and ronaldo has not yet decide. There are no offers came from the big clubs. that may force ronaldo to wait even longer until there will be an offer will come for him from the club that will be playing on the champion league next season. He has not even said anything related with his future team caused by his agent was still searching the club that wants to use him


Ronaldo still in the sad moment after Portugal eliminating from World Cup at 16 round beaten by Morocco, maybe he needs one or two weeks later for announcing his future team, will play in MLS, Asian or keep staying in Europe team?
If he has no team that interested with him and what will be doing by ronaldo? I meant a club from arabian league interested with him but he was not interesting with such offer.

I agreed about this because current world cup is best picture about things happened in soccer any team can upset in any match and any league with their best day on ground so if someone feeling Leipzig is already out of the contest it's just his personal feeling because they already have good record in big matches and here they can compete with Manchester City which could be not easy for both teams even Manchester City is having good advantages and better squad, but quality is surely good on both sides and Leipzig recent performance is also not bad at all in Bundesliga which helping them for having better results in all competition, and they are capable for having good performance in any condition against any team.

Napoli may have had the best half of the season of all. The defeat against Liverpool in the CL could also have been won. And with the draw for the next round, they also have plenty of opportunities as they have drawn Frankfurt. That might be the CL's biggest surprise to date. I think Napoli will easily continue, provided they can maintain the level of the past few months. Barcelona also choked on Frankfurt in the EL last year. And then hope for CL that they can keep their selection together in the winter.
Napoli can still continue their very positive performance in two different competitions this season. Apart from remembering opponents like Frankfurt, the Napoli team still has a squad with very good performances this season so it is very feasible to count Napoli into the race for the Champions League title this season because they have unusual abilities this season.
Without any doubt Napoli's first half of the season was at their best because they achieve more than expectations and now in second half most chances they will keep this momentum and things could be also favourable for them which is good development for them and as many are feeling Frankfurt could be easy task for them, but this is not true because they are very aggressive, and their performance is also at their best in last few weeks which helping them for having better results, and they can give tough challenge to them.

With now things are also changing in Serie A because many teams are strengthened their squads and bringing new quality players which will help them for having better results specially Juventus and AC Milan both are going to give them good challenge and this could be not easy time for them.

If at that time Tuchel did what Todd Boehly wanted then I'm sure Ronaldo would be playing at Chelsea now, but because Tuchel refused then the rumor about Ronaldo joining Chelsea became a rumor that didn't come true.
Also, the misalignment cost Tuchel the sack and we can see how Chelsea's current performance is clearly a drop. It will also be interesting to see if Todd Boehly still has an interest in signing Ronaldo after everything that has happened so far because to be honest it's been quite a mess.

It's not just now that we hear rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo with Chelsea. Last summer's transfer market he was much talked about going to join Chelsea. However, the Chelsea coach, who at that time was still Thomas Tuchel, confirmed that he was not at all interested in Cristiano Ronaldo. And it was Manchester City who were closer to Cristiano Ronaldo, but when they were one step away from reaching an agreement, Manchester United came and managed to persuade Ronaldo to return to Old Trafford.
The same thing is happening right now. Potter has confirmed he never interested with CR7. I think that so many rumours were just appearing to create the hype. These rumours could come from any parties and we shall wait from the official announcement by ronaldo. Ronaldo itself was in a very bad situation caused by he was going back with portugal after losing from morocco. Ronaldo is in a very bad mood for now. I guess he will be making some confirmation later.
There are bunch of speculations about what's gonna be next team for him.

Napoli itself may not able to play with the current formation caused by january will become the time for some players like osimhen to leave from napoli. Napoli itself already announced if it will be selling some players with very high price.
As long as another team could accept the price that being offered by napoli and napoli will try to tell their players to the another team.
If this news is true, Napoli will find it difficult to compete with other clubs in the Champions League. After releasing several key players who have performed well so far, Napoli will receive money from player sales, but it will be difficult to get trophies due to the loss of several important players.
The Champions League is inhabited by more strong teams than the domestic league, it needs a balance of squad to achieve the desired targets.
Most chances Napoli will not try to do any experiment like this because now in this season they are amazing, and they can achieve good results with this unit which is at his best if they will try to sell any quality player then surely this could be disaster for them and their success could be ruin by themselves instead of any opponent even too many rumours are around for the future of Osimhen but things looking ok for the Napoli which is having key.

After many years fans are also happy with the momentum and success which is surely surprised for them because there was no chance for their success like this after selling few top players, but their new young talent bring good success, and they can win two titles in this season even it's too early, but things are in their favour for the big win in this season.

I think that napoli didn't play seriously against liverpool in the last match on UCL caused by it will be qualified for the last 16. There's no need for napoli to play serious against it. I think that champion league gonna be very strict after the transfer season. Napoli itself may not able to play with the current formation caused by january will become the time for some players like osimhen to leave from napoli. Napoli itself already announced if it will be selling some players with very high price.
As long as another team could accept the price that being offered by napoli and napoli will try to tell their players to the another team.

if napoli makes the mistake of selling their very important players then they must be prepared to lose a lot of points, because i doubt that Napoli will be able to become champions if they sell their important players, from what i see most of the good teams on the rise fall just because of greed for money, they start selling their players and in the end they can't win anything and every season they just play to stay in the top positions without the ambition of winning the league, I hope napoli doesn't make that mistake bad, which can cost them not only this season but many seasons their performance will be very bad

Leipzig can really be the unluckiest team in this round now.  Grin
