Coach Claudio Ranieri stated that his club hopes to acquire Ronaldo and David Beckham from Madrid during the off-season.
During an interview with the Italian newspaper "Tuttosport," Ranieri said that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has set his sights on these two footballers. "Yes," he said, "Chelsea is thinking about buying Ronaldo and Beckham. There is only one person in the world who can try to take them from Real Madrid's president, Florentino Perez. And that person is Roman Abramovich."
However, Ranieri himself seems to have already come to terms with the idea that he will no longer be the coach of the Blues in the new season. "I used to refrain from talking about it out of respect for those who pay my salary. I am already thinking about what I will do in the new season," he said.
His colleague, Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz, may also leave his post. There is a significant chance that the royal Spanish football club will end the season empty-handed. On Sunday, they lost on their home turf, further diminishing their chances of winning the championship title. After this round, Real Madrid is behind in points.
If "Los Galacticos" do not become Spanish champions, Queiroz is likely to be fired. And if the coach, who knows Beckham well from their time working together in the club, leaves, rumors about the departure of the English national team captain will only grow stronger.
