Cristiano Ronaldo could prove to be the perfect replacement for Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea, with the Manchester United striker said to be eager to leave Old Trafford this summer. According to The Athletic, Todd Boehly met the 37-year-old striker's agent Jorge Mendes to discuss a potential swoop for the Portuguese star.
It's believed that Ronaldo, who sees his contract at Old Trafford expire in just 12 months, is increasingly disgruntled at the lack of transfer business that United have conducted, with no arrivals as of yet. The report adds that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has already been offered to Bayern Munich, though the German giants have baulked at the proposal.
With Boehly having met with Mendes in Portugal to discuss Ronaldo's future, the American billionaire could have earned the west Londoners an advantage in acquiring his services having now reportedly asked to leave Old Trafford. The Times say that the striker has asked United to respect his decision should the Red Devils receive a 'satisfactory offer'.
