Chelsea tipped to complete dream Cristiano Ronaldo transfer amid 'successful' Todd Boehly talks

Todd Boehly's preemptive meeting with Jorge Mendes looks to have paid off, with Chelsea tipped to sign the Manchester United striker this summer. The 37-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Old Trafford, and the west Londoners have emerged as a likely destination.

According to The Times, the Portugal international has asked the Red Devils to respect his decision to leave the club should they receive a 'satisfactory offer'. It's believed that Ronaldo's verdict is driven by his desire to play in the Champions League this season, with Erik ten Hag set to guide United into the Europa League.

And, with Chelsea reportedly considering a move for the striker, Todd Bohely could have already earned a head start after having met with super-agent Jorge Mendes in Portugal to discuss the player's future. The report adds that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who sees his contract at Old Trafford expire in just 12 months, has already been offered to Bayern Munich, but the German giants have baulked at the proposal.
