Chelsea ‘considering’ Cristiano Ronaldo signing amid United exit rumors

Cristiano Ronaldo’s situation remains undefined, despite the fact that he has a contract with Manchester United until June 30, 2023. A few days ago, it was announced that the Portuguese had informed the ‘Red Devils’ board of his intention to to leave, and recently, the information came that Chelsea is looking forward to it.

According to this Monday’s report from The Athletic, the London entity “is considering a move for Cristiano Ronaldo amid the forward’s informing Manchester United that he wants to leave the club this summer if a suitable offer comes through.

For now, it is known that Manchester United does not evaluate the departure of the 37-year-old athlete. What is certain, according to the source quote, is that last month, the co-owner of Chelsea, Todd Boehly, met with the agent of ‘CR7’, Jorge Mendes, and in that meeting the subject of the player was touched upon.

One of the strong reasons that would have motivated Cristiano Ronaldo to move away from the institution is that United will not play the next edition of the Champions League, being in the sixth box of the recent edition of the Premier League.

conspicuous by its absence

Christian Ronaldo was absent this Monday in the resumption of the training of the Manchester United internationals for “family reasons”: no more was needed to relaunch the assumptions about a possible departure from the club of its Portuguese star.

Despite the arrival of a renowned coach, the Dutchman Erik Ten Hag, from Ajax Amsterdam, Ronaldo, according to the European press, does not think that the club will be able to compete at the highest level in the immediate future.
