Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar could prove to be the final pieces to Thomas Tuchel's puzzle, with Chelsea having suffered in front of goal last season. The Manchester United striker and Paris Saint-German winger have been heavily linked with exits from their respective clubs, perking Todd Boehly's interest ahead of a proposed 'a-list' summer.
The consortium led by the American billionaire, who agreed to a £4.25billion deal to buy the west London club in May, is expected to 'push for A-list signings' to mark a new era at Stamford Bridge, according to the MailOnline. The new ownership group are eager to bolster the Blues' armoury, and The Telegraph report that after player sales are taken into account, Tuchel is set to have £200million to strengthen his side.
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 decision 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.
