Chelsea owner Todd Boehly met with Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes last week with the superstar’s future sensationally discussed.
According to reports, Todd Boehly and Jorge Mendes discussed Ronaldo’s present predicament and the possibility of coming to Stamford Bridge.
The forward’s two-year deal with United, which he signed last summer, now has 12 months left, and it is thought that his club plans to keep him.
According to the same source, it is unclear whether Chelsea would actively pursue Ronaldo, who is rumored to be upset about his team’s lack of recent transfer activity.
He still has a soft spot for the Red Devils, though, and gets along just well with Erik ten Hag, the new manager who will soon be looking to add players to his roster.
Bayern Munich is rumored to have considered signing the 37-year-old as well, despite claims to the contrary from officials with the Bundesliga team.
Frenkie de Jong and Christian Eriksen are still up for negotiation between United and Barcelona, but no deals have been finalized as of yet.
Ronaldo is committed to competing at the greatest level, and according to The Athletic, he wants United to share his aspirations by making significant market purchases.
The veteran could be worried that Tottenham, Manchester City, and Liverpool have backed their managers quickly while United has lagged behind.
I was and still am really glad to be here, the former Real Madrid and Juventus player remarked in a recent interview.
I am aware of (Ten Hag’s) excellent work with Ajax and his expertise as a coach, but we must give him time and allow him to make the changes he desires.
“I’m hoping we succeed. I hope the best for him. We are delighted and thrilled.
Let’s imagine that we will take home awards the next year. I think Manchester United will be in their rightful place. Even if it sometimes takes time, I still have faith.
Ronaldo led United in scoring last season with 24 goals across all competitions, but despite their sixth-place result, they were unable to advance to the Champions League.
With Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard, and Nemanja Matic leaving as free agents, United will resume preseason practice on Monday with a significantly diminished roster.
Ronaldo’s exit this summer seems improbable, barring a shocking turn of events, as Ten Hag has reiterated that he is relishing the opportunity to work with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
While rumors spread, Ronaldo is relaxing with his family in Mallorca.
His partner Georgina Rodriguez shared many images of the family with her Instagram followers while they were vacationing on the island and reserving a private villa.
