Could Cristiano Ronaldo be on his way to Chelsea?

Premier League: Chelsea or Sporting Lisbon - What next for unemployed Ronaldo? | Pulse Nigeria

Ronaldo is a free agent after having his stay at Manchester United cut short. &nbsp;The list of clubs who might have an interest in signing the 37-year-old Portuguese is not as long as it may have been five years ago

His astronomical wage demands as well as visible signs of decline are factors to consider for prospective employers. As Ronaldo approaches his 38th birthday, his stock is lower than before

<h3>Sporting Lisbon</h3>

One transfer that really makes sense on paper is a return to his boyhood club Sporting Lisbon. He would be given a king-style welcome and will have the adulation of all fans in Portugal.

A return to Sporting Lisbon could be on the cards for Ronaldo

The reality is that there is no way that the Liga Nos club would be able to pay his current wages, but there is a chance that he would be willing to accept a massive pay cut for a chance to play back in his home country.

Chelsea will be an intriguing situation to keep an eye on in the next few weeks. There were talks in the summer between Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes and new Chelsea majority shareholder Todd Boehly.

There is a clear need for goals and Ronaldo guarantees goals. His wages should not pose too much of a problem for Chelsea if this is a deal the Blues choose to pursue. However, with Chelsea targetting younger talent, it is unclear if this is a move that would interest them at this time.&nbsp;

Ronaldo seems to be set on playing at the top of European football for a few more years but if he decides to move out of the continent, the MLS could be an excellent option. Inter Miami, a club owned by David Beckham will definitely present him with a fantastic opportunity to enhance his brand even further
