Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly identified Chelsea as his preferred option in the Premier League should he leave Los Blancos at the end of the season.
Speculation continues to rage over the future of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who is understood to be unhappy in the Spanish capital due to Madrid's struggles on the field this season as well as matters off the pitch.
Ronaldo was accused of tax evasion by Spanish authorities last year and reportedly asked to leave the club in the summer, with Manchester United heavily linked with a move to bring the Portuguese back to Old Trafford at that stage.
The Portugal international captain spent six years at United before joining Madrid and would reunite with former Madrid boss and fellow countryman Jose Mourinho if he returned to the club.
