This summer has seen Cristiano Ronaldo linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, with the Portuguese legend rumoured to be looking for a route out of Old Trafford after failing to qualify for the Champions League last season.
It is understood by football.london that talks were held between Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes and new Chelsea owner, but that Thomas Tuchel opted against signing the five-time Ballon D'Or winner. The 37-year-old was United's top scorer last season, but the club struggled following his arrival at the club last summer, finishing sixth in the Premier League and winning no trophies.
However, due to the departure of Romelu Lukaku coupled with the talks which have previously been held with the star, there could yet be some more developments in the story. Chelsea would be able to provide Champions League football to the star, as well as the chance to win the competition for the sixth time with the Blues having done so in 2021.
