Chelsea offer Hasselbaink for Man Utd, Real Madrid target Ronaldo

Chelsea are seeking to trump Real Madrid and Manchester United for Sporting Lisbon starlet Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese wonder-kid is believed to be in Manchester today for talks over an £8 million move to Old Trafford.

However, Real are also in the frame, with sports chief Jorge Valdano having held talks with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes last week.

Chelsea could trump both clubs by making a big cash offer, plus sending striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, to Sporting in exchange for the teenager.

Sporting officials are believed to be keen on Chelsea's proposal.
