Chelsea will challenge Man Utd for unsettled Real Madrid star Ronaldo

Chelsea will battle Manchester United for Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in 2015. The Daily Express says Ronaldo has been tipped to leave Carlo Ancelotti's side next summer, with a return to Old Trafford on the cards.

It is believed that United have set aside as much as £60million in a bid to bring Ronaldo back to England, and Louis Van Gaal is ready to offer him a lucrative deal exceeding his current £290,000 weekly wage.

However, reports now claim that Jose Mourinho has thrown his hat into the ring after forming a close-bond with the 29-year-old during their time together in the Spanish capital.

Real could reluctantly part ways with Ronaldo if the player pushes for a move, with some outlets naming Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus and Blues winger Eden Hazard as potential replacements.
