What if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves for Chelsea? A possibility that is gaining momentum in recent hours as the Portuguese clan discusses with the Blues. But, Manchester United does not intend to let it go without saying anything.
In England, we rather knew Cristiano Ronaldo dressed in red on the lawns of the Premier League. A color that suits him well especially as it is also his in the national team of Portugal. But, it will perhaps soon be necessary to imagine CR7 in blue, in Blues more exactly. Chelsea are seriously considering a transfer of the fivefold golden ball next season and have started discussions with Jorge Mendes, the historic agent of the Portuguese striker. A transfer that would suit everyone. Chelsea would have the star that Todd Boehly has been waiting for since his arrival as owner and Ronaldo could play in the Champions League again.
Man United does not want to sell CR7 but can he keep it?
A scenario that does not please Manchester United, however. The Red Devils don’t want to hear about the club icon’s departure to Chelsea. According to Daily Mirrorthe management even directly informed Ronaldo that he would not be “ allowed to leave next season and that he was part of Erik Ten Hag’s squad. However, can Manchester United retain a star like Ronaldo against his will and above all should he keep this very large salary while a transfer is still possible this summer?
Transfer window’s still long, things can change… but Manchester United are clear on Cristiano Ronaldo: he’s considered not for sale, no talks now ongoing to sell him. 🔴 #MUFC

Indeed, the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo would do the greatest good to Mancunian finances and would help the club to finalize certain arrivals. The Red Devils want to bring in the ajacid players Antony, Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez but above all a former Ajax house Frenkie de Jong. The price of the FC Barcelona midfielder is set at 90 million euros and poses serious problems for the Mancunians. With a Christian Eriksen to attract, a sale of Ronaldo could accelerate the Manchester United transfer window. But, it is never easy to let go of your top scorer in all competitions last season.
