Chelsea have become favourites to sign Cristiano Ronaldo amid uncertainty over his Manchester United future.

The Stamford Bridge club were linked with a move for Ronaldo earlier this summer, but it was thought that they had turned down a proposal from Jorge Mendes following a meeting with Chelsea’s new owner Todd Boehly.

Things may have change since then with time running out to sign players.

Betfair announced a dramatic change in odds regarding Ronaldo’s future.

Chelsea are now 3/1 to sign the Portuguese veteran, having previously been priced at 14/1.

Both Chelsea and United are in the market for a new goalscorer, but let us know in the comments section if you think Ronaldo will end up a blue this summer.

It was reported last week that both Inter and AC Milan rejected the opportunity to sign Ronaldo this summer.

Chelsea could be his only solution if he pushes to leave Old Trafford.
