The transfer saga surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo looks as though it will continue until the very last moments of the summer transfer window. The Portuguese international is said to have asked to leave Manchester United in the market as he looks to compete at the highest level in the twilight of his career.
With agent Jorge Mendes looking for a solution, discussions with new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly included talks of a potential move to Stamford Bridge. With the Blues on the lookout for a striker, following difficulties surrounding goal scoring last campaign, a move for the 37-year-old seems unlikely but not ruled out.
Ronaldo missed out on the majority of pre-season with United, cited as personal reasons for his absence. He has since made his return though, joining up with the squad in training and getting his first taste of footballing action against Rayo Vallecano in a friendly at Old Trafford. The forward only managed to play for the first half though and was substituted at half-time in the 1-1 draw.
