Cristiano Ronaldo transfer: new Chelsea owner tries to sign CR7, Manchester United respond

There has been turmoil in the football world ever since the reports of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer started doing the rounds.

New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly reportedly had a personal meeting with his agent Jorge Mendes and floated the idea of signing Ronaldo. Earlier in the week, there were also reports of Ronaldo's agent offering the 37-year-old footballer to Bayern Munich. The German club, however, rejected the opportunity to sign the Portuguese international.

According to a report in the Mirror, this didn't go down well with Manchester United and the English club has responded by saying that Ronaldo was not for sale. 'We want and fully expect him to be with us next season,' the source added.

The Red Devils brought Ronaldo back to the Old Trafford last summer by handing him a two-year contract worth £ 500,000 a week. CR7 lived up to the expectations and top-scored with 24 goals. But things kept going bad to worse for United as they finished sixth, 35 points behind champions Manchester City.
