The player’s agent Jorge Mendes has held talks with Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly but any deal will depend on whether Thomas Tuchel is interested
Chelsea’s new ownership do not want to foist unwanted players on their head coach and it is unclear whether Tuchel wants Ronaldo, who has also been offered to Bayern Munich, Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain. The Chelsea manager plans to mould a versatile, fluid attack and has allowed Romelu Lukaku to join Internazionale on loan.
Boehly will need to hold talks with Tuchel before deciding whether to test United’s resolve. There is a pressure on Chelsea to step up their business. They remain in talks with Manchester City over a £50m deal for Raheem Sterling, who has held talks with Tuchel, and are waiting to see if Barcelona will beat them to the signing of Leeds United’s Raphinha.
