Interest in the 37-year-old star has gone into overdrive over the last week since a report emerged stating that the Manchester United man was looking for a move away from Old Trafford. Since then, Ronaldo has been training by himself in Portugal and not with Erik ten Hag’s squad, with United citing ‘family reasons’. Man United have since headed off on a pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, with Ronaldo being a notable absentee, despite the club insisting that he’s not for sale. As a result, the focus has been on where he could end up next season. Several clubs have been linked with a move, most notably Chelsea who are keen to kick on in the transfer market following the start of Todd Boehly’s reign as the club’s owner.

The France international defender has featured in 35 appearances for Carlo Ancelotti’s team last campaign, playing his part in Real Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League success.
