The future of Cristiano Ronaldo, he could change Manchester for London

Manchester United's Premier League defeat to Brighton made it clear that Erik ten Hag does not see Cristiano Ronaldo as indispensable to the team. The coach did not use the striker until the 53rd minute of the match when they were down (0-2), which shows the tense situation in the Red Devils' dugout at the start of the league.

This once again opens the door to the possibility of 'CR7' looking for a new destination that guarantees him minutes and also to play in the Champions League, although a big obstacle lies in what will be his escape route from Old Trafford. His salary is too high to give him a lot of options and United has no intention of losing money, which complicates his departure with just over three weeks to go until the close of the market.

However, a new information revealed by the newspaper 'SPORT' ensures that the solution could lie with Chelsea, as they have reactivated their interest in signing the Portuguese. The Blues have found it difficult to get a '9' after the departure of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner, leaving only Armando Broja as a reference in the area. Despite this, Thomas Tuchel is not convinced of the Albanian's ability, so he is still looking for a striker to complete the squad.

In the event that negotiations begin to flow, it will have to be defined which of the two clubs will end up taking 'the worst' part. United does not consider it viable to let Ronaldo go for free, while at Stamford Bridge they do not want to pay for his transfer because they understand that only his salary (currently around 17 million per year) will already be a major expense.

United want more signings

‘CR7’ also does not want to lose what remains to be paid in Manchester this season, although the Mancunians are willing to add one last move before the summer window closes. This would be Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, the Lazio midfielder. His cost would be approximately 60 million euros and for this it is necessary that the club releases the salary impact of Ronaldo and also gain money for his sale. Chelsea has the power to unlock the whole operation, but everything remains on 'stand by'.
