Chelsea are one of the sides said to be interested after owner Todd Boehly held a meeting with agent Jorge Mendes, where the possibility of a switch for Ronaldo was discussed. The talks come at a time where the Blues are looking to shake up their forward options....CONTINUE READING
Romelu Lukaku has spearheaded a number of expected exits – leaving for Inter Milan on loan – as the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Timo Werner have also been rumoured with a move away.

Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure at times last season as United flattered to deceive on the pitch. And his 18 Premier League goals weren’t enough to help his team book their place in this season’s Champions League as United finished sixth in the top-flight table.
Ronaldo hasn’t yet returned to Old Trafford for pre-season training and didn’t board the plane for his team’s summer tour as they flew out to Thailand and Australia. And he has now been tipped to move to a team who have qualified for the Champions League.
“He’s still waiting for what Jorge Mendes will tell him to do – we don’t know if he’ll travel to Manchester, and even if he does it doesn’t mean he will stay at United.”
It’s another twist in the tale of Ronaldo’s summer, given his struggles to find a new club so far. Chelsea face Manchester United in October and it remains to be seen if he lines up in red, blue or if he’s in the match at all.
