LONDON: Star Portuguese footballer Christiano Ronaldo's indication to leave Manchester United has come as an opportunity for football clubs across the world. 

According to reports, Chelsea, an English professional football club, has shown interest in signing the star footballer. 

Evening Standard reported that the 37-year-old would accept the offer of United if they pay him a hefty amount.Last week it was reported that new Todd Boehly, Chelsea owner, held talks with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes.

Boehly, who is in charge of Chelsea’s transfer business this summer, is keen to make a headline signing to kick off the new era. Whether that is Ronaldo, who earns around £500,000-a-wee.

A day earlier, the United forward told the Premier League club that he wants to leave in the close season because of his desire to play in the Champions League.

Speculation has been riffed about Ronaldo's future at United following a trophy-less campaign and their failure to qualify for the Champions League last season, although incoming manager Hag has said the Portuguese international is part of his plans.
