The US billionaire is yet to sign since taking over the club from Roman Abramovich, however, it appears some middlemen believe Chelsea could be one of the few teams that could afford their clients.
Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes is believed to be one of those, with an evolving story that the Portuguese superstar may well be on his way out of Old Trafford just a year after a blockbuster comeback.
Reports from The Athletic claimed Mendes met Boehly in Portugal over a potential deal for Ronaldo, which is now being considered after the 37-year-old missed the first day of training at United for ‘family reasons’ “.
And it has now been reported that the five-time Champions League winner wants to return to the competition where he made his name after United failed to clinch a top four finish last season.
The Daily Telegraph add that Boehly will ask Blues manager Thomas Tuchel if he would like Ronaldo on board.
Red Devils representatives have moved to deny Ronaldo is for sale but a move could be forced with the forward desperate for more trophy success after a hellish season.
