Former player of Chelsea, Arsenal, and the French national team William Gallas spoke out about the missed opportunity for the Blues to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, currently playing in Saudi Arabia.
In 2022, the new owner of the London club, Todd Bowley, was interested in the transfer of the star Portuguese player, but the club management later rejected the idea.
Goal quotes the Frenchman as saying:
Everyone knows how important Ronaldo can be in the dressing room, he brings a winning mentality and it could have benefited the squad. It was a mistake by Chelsea.

Earlier, Gary Neville stated that Ronaldo let down Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after returning to Manchester United. Another former Chelsea player, Frank Leboeuf, criticized Cristiano for his comments about the level of Ligue 1.
