Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the biggest talking points of the summer. The Portuguese striker wants a change of scenery and has offered himself to several clubs in recent weeks.
Manchester United were initially very reluctant to let him leave, but are now giving in. The situation is untenable and the saga of the number 7 will last until the last minute of the market.
According to Football.London, the former Real Madrid player is waiting for Chelsea.
The Blues' poor results to start the season - seven points from five games - are keeping Cristiano's hopes of playing at Stamford Bridge alive. His agent Jorge Mendes is in contact with the Londoners, who in the last few hours have shown their willingness to invest heavily in players such as Wesley Fofana, Josko Gvardiol and Frenkie de Jong.
If Cristiano Ronaldo ends up signing for Chelsea, the English side will no longer be interested in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gabonese was Thomas Tuchel's first choice, but the blues have still not reached an agreement with Barça.
The sale of Aubameyang is essential for Barça in economic terms: if he finally stays, Mateu Alemany will hardly be able to make any more signings.
Decisive hours for the outcome of both the Cristiano and the Aubameyang storylines.
The Gabonese is still most likely to become the offensive threat at Stamford Bridge, but the English management are exploring all possible options.
