Cristiano Ronaldo's Man Utd U-turn puts pressure on Chelsea's Todd Boehly to execute transfer

Cristiano Ronaldo has almost definitely committed his future to Man Utd for this season and inadvertently rules out a late switch to Chelsea amid Todd Boehly's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fear.

The 37-year-old started the summer transfer window with one aim and ambition- to leave Old Trafford for a second time to play Champions League football in 2022/23. A mission which started well with super agent Jorge Mendes sounding out potential suitors for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. There was even one point where Chelsea looked like properly progressing on this deal for CR7.

football.london understands that Todd Boehly met up with Mendes in Portugal and left the meeting wanting to go through with this Hollywood-type signing. A deal which was halted at the start by manager Thomas Tuchel who instead wants Barcelona's Aubameyang to fill a temporary void left up top by the departures of Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku.
