"We focused on our top target Raheem Sterling who we signed and everything else stays behind closed doors," Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea coach) said when asked about Ronaldo.

"As highly as I rate Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the greatest, a transfer wouldn't be a fit with our philosophy," said Bayern's CEO Oliver Kahn on the rumours of Ronaldo signing for Bayern Munich after Lewandowski's departure to FC Barcelona.

However, Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag has not turned his back on the Portugal forward stating that "Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale". However, United's top-scorer of last season is in no mood to stay at the club. Reports suggest that Ronaldo wants UCL football and is not happy with the lack of signings the club has made. A report even suggested that Ronaldo thinks that the club do not share the same ambition as him of 'winning trophies' next season.

Ronaldo is willing to take a 30 percent paycut on his salary to join Spanish club Atletico Madrid, as per Daily mail. However, a move to Atletico will give him and his the comfort zone that they lived in for nine years during his time at Real Madrid but first Cristiano will take a cut from his Manchester United wages and later he will have the make up to the Atletico fans, who he made cry a lot of times in a Real Madrid shirt.
