Four clubs have already looked to distance themselves from the Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga this summer, as speculation over the Manchester United superstar continues. Ronaldo, 37, missed their pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia before returning to Carrington for crunch talks with Erik ten Hag.
During his absence, transfer rumours surrounding Ronaldo have been bubbling away. Chelsea and Bundesliga side Bayern Munich distanced themselves from a summer pursuit, while reports in France claimed Ronaldo was offered to big-spending Paris Saint-Germain, but there was nothing concrete there.
Ronaldo also rebuffed a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia and United insist the player will not be sold amid ongoing links with beloved former club Sporting Lisbon and, perhaps more surprisingly, Atletico Madrid. However, figures at Wanda Metropolitano have denied suggestions they will move in.
