Chelsea are preparing to make Manchester United an offer of £14 million to sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, according to reports.
The 37-year-old had informed club officials of his desire to depart Old Trafford in order to play Champions League football.
He made 37 appearances last term, scoring 24 goals and registering three assists, but that wasn’t enough to guide Man United to Champions League qualification.
Now under the management of Erik ten Hag, they will play Europa League football and that has played a huge factor in Ronaldo’s desire to leave.
United allegedly gave the player permission to miss Monday’s sessions due to family reasons, although it was not expected that Ronaldo would continue to miss training up to and including Wednesday.
As it stands, it is unclear whether the legendary figure will travel with the rest of the squad to Thailand and Australia for the club’s pre-season tour.
According to Football Insider, Chelsea may likely proceed with an official offer for Ronaldo over the coming days.
Boehly has allegedly held discussions with head coach Thomas Tuchel, who appears to have given the green light for a move for the veteran.
