Chelsea News: Graham Potter makes Cristiano Ronaldo transfer decision against Todd Boehly wish

In Chelsea News, Todd Boehly's transfer dream of bringing one of the game's best goalscorers in Cristiano Ronaldo to Stamford Bridge.

Oct 24, 2022, 6:10 AMβ€’3 min read

In Chelsea News, Todd Boehly's transfer dream of bringing one of the game's best goalscorers in Cristiano Ronaldo to Stamford Bridge was consistently squashed by Thomas Tuchel, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signed instead. But that has stopped the Chelsea co-owner from giving up on.

The Manchester United striker looks almost certain of a move away from Old Trafford after seeming to fall out with manager Erik ten Hag.

Ronaldo, 37, was excluded from the United squad for this weekend's 1-1 draw with Chelsea as part of his punishment for an incident in midweek.

With the Red Devils comfortably 2-0 up against Tottenham on Wednesday night, Ronaldo refused to come on for Ten Hag and walked down the tunnel before the final whistle.

Whilst his team-mates celebrated an important victory against one of the top four rivals, Ronaldo had already left the stadium.

Ronaldo's name being in the headlines for the wrong reasons hasn't vanished Boehly's wish of bringing the Portuguese captain to West London, and reports have insisted that the American businessman remains keen on making a January move.

However, reports from Ben Jacobs suggest Graham Potter sits in a similar position to Tuchel and has alternative attacking options in mind to improve his forward line.

At least three other players are said to be preferred: AC Milan's Rafael Leao, Lille's Jonathan David and Brentford's Ivan Toney.

All three of Potter's referred targets have scored more goals than Ronaldo and have been linked with a big-time move in the past.

Leao's future at Milan looks almost certain to be elsewhere after entering the final 18 months of his contract, whilst David has attracted interest with nine goals in 11 Ligue 1 appearances.

Boehly's Ronaldo wish isn't just for footballing reasons. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner's arrival would be a signing for the brand of Chelsea Football Club, with 491 million followers on Instagram and 104.1 million on Twitter.

But it remains to be seen whether Potter believes the move is the correct one on the pitch.

The idea of a six-month deal has been discussed by the hierarchy at Chelsea, while the possibility of a year-long extension would be provided should the move work out for both parties, according to Sunday World.

Boehly will have to sit for the time-being as his immediate future at Old Trafford is set to be decided in the coming weeks.

Most Golden Boots win in football history

Lionel Messi has won the European Golden Boot a record six times. Let's take a look at the most Golden Boots win in football history.

Most Golden Boots win in football history

The European Golden Boot or European Golden Shoe is awarded annually to the leading goal scorer in league matches in the top divisions of European football. First awarded in 1968, this prestigious honour is judged on a points-based system.

Also Read: Players with the most champions league titles

Golden Boot: Rules

The winner is not simply the player with the most goals in the season. There is a weighting system where the goals scored in the top-ranked leagues are worth more. Players from the five highest ranked leagues according to UEFA (based on results of each league's clubs in European competition over the previous five seasons) get 2 points per scored goal, leagues ranked 6-22 get 1.5 points per goal and the remaining leagues get 1 point per goal.

The top five ranked leagues in 2022 were Germany, Spain, England, Italy, and France. The winners usually come from the top-ranked leagues.

Historical Overview

Between 1968 and 1991, the award was given by L'Γ‰quipe to the highest goalscorer in any European league. Between 1991 and 1996 there were no official awards given to the top goal scorers, but the leading goalscorer for those years have since been recognized.

Since the 1996–97 season, the award, given by European Sports Media, has used a weighted points system.

Most Golden Boots win

Lionel Messi has won the European Golden Boot a record six times (2009-10, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19). The next closest is Cristiano Ronaldo with four (2007-08, 2010-11, 2013-14, 2014-15).

Let's take a look at the most Golden Boots win in football history.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United 2024-25 UEFA Europa League final: Spurs lift the Europa League 2025 beating United by 1-0; First trophy for Son Heung-Min | sportzpoint.com

Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United in the 2024-25 Europa League final at the San Memes Stadium.

Both teams have endured disastrous Premier League campaigns, currently reeling at 16th and 17th respectively, and face the threat of missing out on European football altogether, unless they win this final.

For United coach Ruben Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag mid-season, it’s a last shot to salvage a turbulent spell marked by 18 Premier League losses; a club record. Tottenham, meanwhile, haven’t lifted silverware since 2008, and their 21 league defeats this season mark a new low. Coach Ange Postecoglou, in his second year, sees this as a vital chance to finally deliver on Spurs’ long-unfulfilled potential.
