Cristiano Ronaldo mutually agreed to terminate his contract at Manchester United on the eve of the World Cup. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is now a free agent heading into the January transfer window and has been linked with a number of clubs, including Chelsea.
Ronaldo had already been heavily linked with an exit from Old Trafford on a number of occasions this season but a revealing TV interview with Piers Morgan was the final straw. United were said to be 'furious' after the TV attack of the club caught them by surprise, with the Portuguese superstar claiming that he felt betrayed.
United sought legal advice and Ronaldo was subsequently allowed to leave the club. With the 37-year-old now available on the market, it seems he is finally close to finding a new club.
