Todd Boehly has been told how much Chelsea could have to fork out in order to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United this summer. The American billionaire met the 37-year-old striker's agent Jorge Mendes to discuss a potential swoop for the Portuguese star, according to The Athletic.
It's said that Ronaldo, who sees his contract at Old Trafford expire in just 12 months, is increasingly discontent at the lack of transfer business that United have conducted, with no arrivals as of yet. The report adds that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has already been offered to Bayern Munich, though the German giants have baulked at the proposal.
With Boehly having met Mendes in Portugal last week, it's believed that Ronaldo's future was among several topics discussed amid an uncertain future at United. The American-led consortium, who agreed a £4.25billion deal to buy the west London club, are expected to 'push for A-list signings' to mark a new era at Stamford Bridge, according to the MailOnline.
