Cristiano Ronaldo has shutdown speculation of a potential transfer to Sporting Lisbon amid links between the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and Chelsea.
Ronaldo intends to leave Old Trafford this summer in search of Champions League football as the 37-year-old looks to play in Europe's elite competition for as long as possible. football.london understands the Blues were sounded out over a potential move for Ronaldo but after Todd Boehly spoke with Thomas Tuchel, the club dropped their interest in signing the United striker.
The Portuguese superstar was United's top scorer last season, but it seems there aren't many suitors in Europe willing to take Ronaldo in as his agent Jorge Mendes searches for a transfer solution. Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have all ruled themselves out of the running for the 37-year-old in recent weeks, whilst Ronaldo has been offered an eye-watering £210million deal from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club which would see him earn more than PSG’s trio of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar combined.
