According to sources ESPN, Manchester United leaders are convinced that Ronaldo will stay at Old Trafford in January, largely because of the lack of interest from other clubs. The "Red Devils" are preparing for another "push" to leave the Portuguese side, since CR7 is unable to secure the starting position in Erik ten Hag's team.
Ronaldo is also looking to play in the Champions League, and under UEFA rules, the striker can be active in the Champions League with a new team next year, despite being active in the Europa League this year with United.
Meanwhile, despite the great desire of the Portuguese to leave in the summer, the English club received only 1 serious offer from Saudi Arabia. However, this was not considered at all, neither by Ronaldo, nor by United's management.
During the summer transfer window, there was much speculation linking the striker with a move to Chelsea, Napoli and Bayern Munich. But none of the clubs took a concrete step to engage in talks with CR7's agent. According to ESPN sources, Chelsea's position regarding the possible transfer of Ronaldo has changed, since the arrival of Graham Potter at the head of the bench. This and because of the approach of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the team, which seems to have solved the main problem of the Londoners in attack.
Ronaldo meanwhile is having a very difficult season this year, as he has scored only 1 goal, in the Europa League and none in the championship. Coach Ten Hag recently revealed that CR7 is frustrated with the fact that he is not getting more minutes on the pitch. However, ESPN sources say that the Dutch coach does not want the striker to leave in January.
