Cristiano Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, has issued a cryptic message on her Instagram page about her brother's future amid an increasingly uncertain future at Manchester United. The 37-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Old Trafford, and Chelsea have emerged as a likely destination.
football.london understand that the Blues have sounded out a move for the striker, with Ronaldo keen to ply his trade in the Champions League this season. According to ESPN, the Portugal international is open to a move to Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea remain hesitant as to whether to escalate their interest, with Tuchel believed to have been granted the final say.
Despite Todd Boehly having built the groundwork to complete a deal after meeting with super agent Jorge Mendes, the German boss is not convinced. Whether the Blues table an offer for the five-time Ballon d'Or is yet to be seen, though Ronaldo seems eager to leave Carrington nonetheless.
