Summary: Portugal - Czech Republic 0: 2 (Sport 1)

Cristiano Ronaldo's summer saga continues, and Manchester United are losing patience.

The Portuguese star has been absent from the team's training sessions in recent days "for personal and family reasons", but it is clear to everyone that this is in fact a signal of his intention to leave the club and find another team, with an emphasis on a team that will participate in the Champions League.

United are aware of what is going on below the surface and the fact that Ronaldo's agent, Georges Mendes, is offering him to a host of clubs.

The club are a little surprised by the Portuguese's conduct, especially in light of the fact that all the data were known to him months ago.

"The timing of Ronaldo's clarification that he wants to leave was very unfortunate. It's a terrible timing for United, because it makes the pre - season chaos," a club insider told Athletic.

"Ronaldo already knew in April that United would not be in the Champions League, but waited until July to make it clear to the club that he did not want to stay. It is boiling."

The group understands that despite the public statements that Ronaldo is not on the shelf and not a candidate for sale, they will have to align themselves with his requests in light of his status and power.

At the same time, it is still unclear where Ronaldo will move to, and which of the senior teams is interested in him.

Chelsea are still exploring the possibility of signing him, but despite the willingness of new owner Ted Bohlie to complete the move, Thomas Tuchel has not yet given the green light to the move.

"Tuchel is known as one who does not like to face stars. It is doubtful if he will want Ronaldo," they wrote this morning (Wednesday) in the "Daily Mail".

Last night it was reported that Mendes had also offered Ronaldo to Atletico Madrid.

The Colchoneros are positively considering the move, which may be surprising and spicy in light of the Portuguese's history in the uniform of arch-rival Real Madrid.

Bayern Munich, another team that Mendes has approached, is not interested.

According to the Bild, "Bayern understand that Ronaldo's astronomical salary will completely break the salary hierarchy in the team, and know that he does not fit in at all with Julian Naglesman's high pressure method."
