    Cancel my contract, name your price – Ronaldo tells Man Utd

    Portugal international and Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has informed the Old Trafford side that he has received an offer from a club and would love to terminate his contract.

    Ronaldo has now urged United chiefs to name their price for him, so he can trigger a move away.

    The 37-year-old’s claim comes even as top clubs like Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid have distanced themselves from signing him.

    Ronaldo held showdown talks with United this week, alongside his agent Jorge Mendes.

    It is believed Mendes told the club that Ronaldo has a “live offer” and that a transfer fee must be set for his client.

    Ronaldo, alongside his agent Jorge Mendes, has held showdown talks with United’s hierarchy this week – after telling the club of his intentions to leave earlier this summer.

    He only returned to Carrington on Tuesday after missing all of United’s pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia.

    Manchester United is still trying to win the forward over to have him play his remaining one year on the contract.

    Talks have failed to change the 37-year-old’s mind about wishing to leave but he will carry on professionally.

    Meanwhile, the report has it that the five times Balon d’Or winner may be pitching his tent for Italian side Napoli next season in his quest to play Champions League football.

    Chelsea call off contract talks with defender

    New contract talks between Chelsea and Andreas Christensen have stalled.

    The Denmark international will see his terms expire at the end of the campaign and it had been assumed that he would pen a new deal.

    Christensen had verbally agreed a new contract earlier in the season but that has since changed, says the Telegraph.

    And that threatens his very status at Stamford Bridge and the 25-year-old could now leave for nothing when the season ends.

    That would be a huge blow for Thomas Tuchel, who has counted on the centre-back heavily in what has become the best defence in the Premier League.

    Christensen and his representatives had agreed on a five-year deal but the goalposts have since changed.

    They are now demanding that the contract be shortened to three years, mystifying the Chelsea hierarchy who had been confident that he would put pen to paper soon.

    Negotiations have reportedly been called off, leaving the club in a difficult situation.
