Ronaldo is open to joining Chelsea
Ronaldo informed the team in July that he wants to join a club in the Champions League and is desperate to leave Old Trafford.
The veteran would want to relocate abroad, but few offers have been made, with Saudi Arabia being the lone one.
After Mendes spoke with Blues co-owner Todd Boehly, who was eager to make a statement signing in his first summer at the club, Chelsea appeared to be the most likely option in late July.
Despite Romelu Lukaku's departure, Thomas Tuchel was hesitant to approve the trade.
Even though Raheem Sterling is regarded as a winger in Tuchel's system, Chelsea has so far been unable to bolster their center striker position.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who Barcelona signed for free just six months ago, is now valued at almost £30 million.
The Independent reports that Mendes has returned to the club to offer Ronaldo as Chelsea scrambles to reinforce as the window closes.
It is understood that Tuchel still has the same reservations about signing Ronaldo as he did earlier in the summer, although it is unclear if the club's failure to bolster has softened his stance.
