Ronaldo's decision to exit Old Trafford is reportedly driven by his current employers' lack of Champions League football in the upcoming season.

Despite not ruling out the possibility of signing a striker, Tuchel is believed to have his eyes set on priorities other than a move to bring the Portugal captain to London.

Tuchel's Chelsea have already announced the signing of England star Raheem Sterling from Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Blues are also reported to be nearing a move for Kalidou Koulibaly, who is in his last year at SSC Napoli.

The 31-year-old central defender is expected to complete his medicals and sign a four-year deal in the coming days.

Paris Saint-Germain reject the chance of signing Cristiano Ronaldo

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that French champions Paris Saint-Germain has rejected the possibility of signing the Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, 37, is currently staring at an uncertain future with the Red Devils despite having a year left on his Old Trafford deal.

The Portugal captain wants to keep playing in the UEFA Champions League and would consider joining Chelsea this summer.
