Jamie Carragher has publicised his thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to leave Manchester United this summer amid Chelsea's reported interest in the striker. According to The Times, the Portugal international has asked the Red Devils to respect his verdict should the club 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. And, while it remains to be seen as to whether the west Londoners table a move for the 37-year-old, Todd Bohely could have earned Chelsea a head start after having met with super agent Jorge Mendes in Portugal to discuss Ronaldo's future.
The report adds that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who sees his contract at Old Trafford expire in just 12 months, has already been offered to Bayern Munich but the German giants have baulked at the proposal. With Ronaldo's situation hitting the headlines and the Blues among several named potential suitors, Carragher is revelling in the Portuguese star's decision.
