According to reports on Saturday, Ronaldo's representative, Jorge Mendes, spoke with new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, who was looking to bring a big player to Stamford Bridge.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been informed by Manchester United that he is not for sale.
United were incensed by allegations that Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes had a meeting with new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly over the Portuguese player's probable transfer to Stamford Bridge. Additionally, there were accusations made earlier in the week in Portugal that Mendes had offered the 37-year-old to Bayern Munich because Ronaldo had grown frustrated with the team's lack of activity in the transfer market since hiring Erik ten Hag as manager.
High-ranking insiders at Old Trafford, however, have made it very obvious that Ronaldo is staying put and that Ten Hag has already incorporated him into his plans for the upcoming campaign. The insider declared, "Cristiano is not for sale." "We want him to be with us next season, and we absolutely expect him to be."
By offering Ronaldo a two-year deal for £500,000 a week, United broke the bank to entice him back to the team last summer. His comeback was intended to make United champions, and he upheld his end of the deal by leading the league in goals scored with 24.
But after a season in which Ralph Rangnick failed to improve the team's fortunes and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired, United finished sixth, 35 points behind winners Manchester City.
Ten Hag has been hired to revive the glory years as speculation about Ronaldo's future has increased since reporting for international duty.
While free agent Christian Eriksen is still contemplating whether to accept a move to Manchester and Ajax defender Jurrien Timber has already said he is staying in Amsterdam, United is refusing to fulfill Barcelona's £80 million plus demand for top target Frenkie de Jong.
Ronaldo reportedly found the selection of Ten Hag to be admirable. Although chief executive Richard Arnold told supporters last week that money is not a concern for new signings, the idea is that he is now looking for a way out.
The club Ronaldo joined from Sporting Lisbon in 2003 and left six years later to join Real Madrid in a record-breaking £80 million move is obviously different from United.
After a brief relationship with a rival, he joined Juventus. Sir Alex Ferguson led a charm drive to persuade the forward to rejoin United after City forced him to leave.
