EPL: Arsenal, Chelsea reject big chance to sign Ronaldo

Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United have all rejected the chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, according to the UK Sun.

Ronaldo tried to force a move away from Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.

But the club only received one offer from Saudi side Al-Hilal.

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly had explored the possibility of a deal.

But Thomas Tuchel, who has since been replaced as manager by Graham Potter, opposed Ronaldo’s arrival at Stamford Bridge.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich also approached by Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes. But there were no takers for the 37-year-old.

Ronaldo is now seeking a move in the January transfer window and his situation at United has become worse after he left the bench before the 2-0 win over Tottenham had finished last week.

According to the report, Ronaldo’s advisors have already approached Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle ahead of the January transfer window.

But all three clubs have made it clear that they are not interested in signing the United forward.
