Arsenal and Chelsea respond after being offered Cristiano Ronaldo signing.
According to reports, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle United declined a new opportunity to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
Ronaldo pushed for United to accept an offer from Al-Hilal during the summer transfer window, but the club only received one.
Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly explored the possibility of a deal but Thomas Tuchel, who has since been replaced as manager by Graham Potter, opposed Ronaldo’s arrival at Stamford Bridge.
Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, also contacted Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich, but none of those teams were interested in signing the 37-year-old.

Ronaldo is currently looking for a transfer during the January transfer window since his situation at United has gotten worse since he left the bench before last week’s 2-0 victory over Tottenham had ended.
According to The Sun, Ronaldo’s advisors have already approached Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle ahead of the January transfer window.
But all three clubs have made it clear that they are not interested in signing the United forward.
A source told The Sun: ‘Chelsea were interested in Ronaldo over the summer, but he is no longer on their radar.
‘Arsenal and Newcastle realise the quality he would bring in helping them to achieve their ambitions. But both clubs worry about the wider impact his arrival could have on the clubs.’
