When new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly met with top agency Jorge Mendes, Cristiano Ronaldo is rumored to have been a topic of conversation.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been strongly linked to a move away from Old Trafford, has already received an ultimatum from Erik ten Hag over his future with Chelsea. According to The Athletic, Todd Boehly met with the agent of the Manchester United striker, Jorge Mendes, to discuss a prospective bid for the Portuguese superstar.
According to reports, Ronaldo, whose deal with the Red Devils expires in just one year, is growing more and more frustrated with the paucity of signings United have made thus far. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has previously been offered to Bayern Munich, according to the source, but the German powerhouse has objected to the idea.
Boehly and Mends met last week in Portugal, and it is thought that.
Speaking after his final game in charge of Ajax last month, Ten Hag said: "From tomorrow (Monday), my focus will be on United, and I will of course get deep into things there.
"What I have to say about it is, the detailed analysis still has to begin, I still have to work with the team, but let me be clear that at United there are a lot of good players around. We have to make them function as a team but definitely Ronaldo, he is a giant."
In another interview with De Telegraaf, Ten Hag added: "Ronaldo is a giant, because of what he’s already shown and I think he’s still very ambitious. Of course, I would like to keep him. He’s been very important to Manchester United this year and can produce great statistics."
Ronaldo featured 30 times for United in the Premier League last season, directly contributing to 21 goals. His impressive displays guided the Red Devils through patches of unfortunate form, though not enough to secure Champions League qualification.
