JUST IN: #Chelsea Offers Manchester United £10M To Sign Cristiano #Ronaldo?—-Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly may offer Cristiano Ronaldo a way out of Manchester United by signing Cristiano Ronaldo in January, new reports claim.
Boehly has a close relationship with Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes and was interested in signing the 37-year-old from Manchester United in the summer, however former Blues coach, Thomas Tuchel didn’t want him at the club.
According to Mail Online, the American billionaire is set to make a move for Ronaldo in January as Manchester United looks to offload the Portuguese.
However, it’s unclear if Tuchel’s replacement Graham Potter would be open to signing Ronaldo.
United boss Erik ten Hag has banished Ronaldo from first-team involvement after the forward stormed out of Old Trafford before the full-time whistle and refused to come on as a substitute against Spurs.
Manchester United will have to pay Cristiano Ronaldo nearly £10 million if they want to terminate his contract. The Sun state that the 37-year-old is owed that figure in basic wages for the remainder of his current deal, which runs until June.
The club could attempt to reduce that fee if they find out Ronaldo’s refusal to come off the bench against Tottenham Hotspur was in breach of his contract. However, the Sun also reveal that Chelsea could offer an interesting opportunity as the Blues owner Todd Boehly is open to negotiating a deal to sign Ronaldo from their Premier League rivals.
