I started not to believe that Cristiano Ronaldo will be transferred by any team soon. We are very close to the beginning of the season and there is still no offer for him. If Atletico Madrid really wanted him I think they would make an offer already. The most recent rumour is about a loan move as some people on the forum stated that. But I think the expectation from the team to loan him would be to pay his full salary. I don't know how much eager they would be to pay that insane sum of money.

Given what it would mean to Real Madrid fans and Ronaldo leaving Real as legend, I'd strike out the possibility of an Atletico Madrid for Ronaldo, even if he wishes to join a new club/league, I doubt it is going to be as a player for one of his former teams arch rivals.

Transfer rumours:
Chelsea have beaten off competition from Barcelona to sign Sevilla and France centre-back Jules Kounde and will offer the 23-year-old a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge. So another great deal for Chelsea and another failure for Barcelona.
Barcelona and Netherlands forward Memphis Depay, 28, is likely to turn down a move to Newcastle. Does this mean that Depay will stay in Barcelona after all?
AC Milan have joined Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona in the race to sign 18-year-old Aston Villa and England Under-19 attacking midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka. Chukwuemekai is in high demand, many clubs want him, and what will he decide in the end?

I think Barcelona should be staying away from the transfer market right now. They have spent a really significant amount of money in this transfer market even though they don't have any money in the bank at all. I am still wondering how they managed to do that.

Even though I agree Barcelona shouldn't be as active as they've been in this transfer window, I'm still of the opinion that if they're are making the appropriate signings then it's going to be worth, I like the idea of Jules Kounde transfer but in order to get him they'll need to match at least Chelsea's 55m bid, and that's in my opinion enormous for Barcelona to afford with needing to sell De Jong and probably Depay as well.

If Ronaldo wants to join Atlético Madrid, I would say it will be one of the worst decisions of Ronaldo's career. Ronaldo is leaving United to play in the Champions League. But if he joins Atletico Madrid, maybe he can play in the Champions League, but not win the title. Atletico Madrid will sell Morata and Griezmann to sign Ronaldo. And so the entire team will depend on Ronaldo's performance. It is foolish to dream of winning the Champions League solely on Ronaldo.
 
Ronaldo wants to play the next champions for sure
The problems are his age and his salary. He doesn't have a lot of opportunities left. He can go at Atletico or he can go back where everything it starden, with sporting Lisbona.

He already said it years ago, he wants to end his career there. This may be the last opportunity he has but he needs to give a big cut in his salary.
It's a good move from Manchester United management as they allow Ronaldo for leaving club on loan for his wish as he wants to play in Champions League but sadly now he is having only few selections with most chances he is going to join at Atlético Madrid as no other club is going to accept him right now with current salary which is big issue even Atlético Madrid is also now have few troubles because they have to offload few players with high salary and pay some fees as well which is not easy but if they were able to manage things in positive way then surely they are going to have some positive benefits as well which will bring some better movement in this club, and they could be able to fight for higher spot in both La Liga and Champions League.

It seems that Man United is starting to realize that keeping Ronaldo is impossible, because Ronaldo has made up his mind to change clubs this year.
Therefore, it is reported that Man United has let Ronaldo go, but Ronaldo is only allowed to move on loan, then Ronaldo also had to agree to activate
the option of a one-year contract extension in his contract at Man United. That way the 2023/2024 season Ronaldo will return to play at Man United.
There are also rumors that Ronaldo is willing to cut his salary by up to 30% if he really moves to Atletico,  because for Ronaldo money is not that
important anymore. The most important thing for Ronaldo is that he wants to continue competing in the Champions League. It would be very
interesting indeed the competition in La Liga if it was true that Ronaldo moved to Atletico, meaning Ronaldo will compete to be the top goal scorer
with Lewandowski and Benzema.

Some sources are saying that Timo Werner is hoping to sign for another team this summer to have more playing time. As far as I know Chelsea also are thinking about selling him these days. Therefore I don't think there will be a problem between them about this. However I wonder if there will be any big team that would like to sign him now. Or maybe he can go to an average team like Leipzig again. Returning to Bundesliga might help him bring back his old performance maybe.

I think that the Kane topic should be closed soon. Because I don't see any transfer move for him these days. It wouldn't make sense while he is contented with playing for his team as he trusts Conte very much. Tottenham also wouldn't sell him unless an extraordinary offer is made to them. Bayern Munich wouldn't care about the money now as they need a striker immediately. But as I said even if the team accept such offer Kane might turn it down because of those reasons.

I don't think Bayern Munich is thinking of buying Kane this year. At the moment, this would be too much of an expense for Bayern after buying Mane. I think if Kane moves to Bayern Munich it will be after his contract with Tottenham expires next year.

Bringing in a lot of good players doesn't mean that the team will play well. Barcelona have to prove themselves first in the liga, it was just a friendly match and to be honest I'm not sure if they could win the Classico in the league. The players are new to the team and will probably need a season to settle in properly.
Now Barcelona are going to face big challenge in coming season as they spend big amount which was not expected by anyone with their current financial trouble, but they are bringing many quality players and strengthening their squad for big challenge now big question is can they perform like they are expected because just having quality players in team is never been guarantee to win title as we all watch PSG they fail to manage them and having troubles around then, so Barcelona will bring success with this all spending and is this going to solve their problems which are going to have big disaster for them in coming months because their debit is already over 1 Billion which is not small amount and if they fail then surely it's going to be more concerns.

I also think that Barcelona should stop going for new transfers from now on. They are spending the money like it is unlimited. They are doing this even on purpose despite being aware of their big debt. They have already made impressive signings and I think these are enough to have a successful season. No matter how many transfers they make, they will need to show a high-level performance anyway. However I'm sure that the rumours are going to continue to exist until the transfer window ends.
People are already beginning to question how Barcelona have been able to make the signings that they have made thus far, the news since last season is that they are in a financial crisis, i haven't bothered to read the details about it, but it was the same financial mess that made them lose Messi, and they also struggled till they signed Xavi, who helped them finish on a high. But then it is shocking as to how much they have spent in this summer's transfer window, even coaches of other teams have questioned their ability to do this, i think Tuchel has, as well as Nagelsmann; prolly Barcelona aren't telling us everything or they might run into a whole lot of trouble from this, we'll have to wait and see.

Still it will be more difficult even if Atletico sell Griezman. and in this case it looks like Atletico also have other goals for selling Griezman because indeed he is on a 2-year loan there and there is a release clause that Atletico must pay afterwards amounting to 34 million there and when he leaves even though the reason is for Ronaldo but on the other hand On the other hand, they also get more benefits because they can save on salary costs.
I still feel that Ronaldo will not go to Atletico even if they do something like this.
Wait, I didn't follow Griezmann's journey back to Atlético from Barça. I always thought they had just sold him back to Atlético Madrid Assuming things happen as speculated does this mean, Griezmann return to forward studded Barça?

What a mess this would be both for the once promising strike and Barcelona.

Is not a rumour that is supposed to worry Tottenham Hotspur or her fans, because Harry Kane won't be interested to go to any other leagues aside the premier League because his dream is to break shearer record and become the highest goal scorer in the premier League if he goes to Germany he won't be able to fulfill that dream, and I also think he will sign a new deal in the month to come because since Antonio Conte came it's all positives.
I do not know about the dream, but it's more about how he is playing in a team that is literally at the near of the top, they are not at the top, but every year they fight for top 5 that's true, sometimes they achieve it, sometimes they fail, but I do not remember any time in the last 5 years where they were not even in the discussion.

It means, he could score a lot of goals, at a club that is that good, you could score a lot to bottom half teams, and that gives him the chance to break that record for sure. If he plays like Benzema and until he is 35 years old, then it is going to be something serious for sure. There isn't really a problem there, but didn't know he was doing it because of the record, I just thought he liked it there.

Barcelona squad are very much okay after a win against real Madrid in the El Classico. Xavi is really doing an excellent job for the team as Barça president, Juan Laporta is happy with the Spaniard. These season will be entirely different for them as they have made vital signings in the transfer window which will filled in the spaces omitted last summer. Just can't wait for the catalans to start the new season with this present squad and winning titles.
Barcelona fans most expected with winning on el clasico pre season match, I don't think most important winning because only pre season match only and Real Madrid not really with full team. Actually Barcelona have mad perfect player transfer this time because success got Raphinha, Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessié. But better not really happy what result achievement on pre season match because need waiting on real competition on La Liga or UEFA Champion League how most consistent for Barcelona, can stop Real Madrid get La Liga trophy for next season or not.
Yeah, it is a preseason game, the pre season games are to see the players fitness, how much the team has improved and to spot loop holes and weak points in the team that need to be worked on but a win is a win and we should commend Barcelona for the level of improvement to the squad, they have managed to acquire put together a strong team with very talented players this time, they look prepared to kickoff the season already.

Good news to Chelsea fans as they finally got ahead of Barcelona in the deal for Kounde, Barcelona have been very active in the market, interfering and pulling off some good deals. Probably if Barcelona had the funds to get the deal done it would have been a really tough one, Chelsea management will be happy that Barcelona wouldn't be able to get the deal
Barca offer is very much low as compared to Chelsea's offer so it was clear that Chelsea were ahead in this. Besides they are not able to meet Sevilla's valuation so I don't think Sevilla will accept the bid. If Barca had funds, then it would have been very likely to Barca move but their inability to meet the valuation swept them away from getting Kounde. Also I think Chelsea also might have gone far with the bidding as they desperately need players in defence.

In any type of bidding Barcelona is not likely to be the favorite club to sign players because Barcelona doesn’t have the money to back itself up. Whenever there is no competition for Barcelona to get a player, they don't have any problems getting that player. Even when it takes them a long time to acquire the player.

But whenever it came down to Barcelona having any competition, Barcelona lost quite quickly. Because if they want to bid higher for a player they will have to take a lot of other things into account. At that time the other teams had already gotten the player. That’s exactly what happened in this case. Chelsea got the player for themselves and Barcelona basically couldn’t do anything.

Depay is most likely going to stay in Barcelona. This also means that he is waiting for a better offer. But I honestly do expect him to stay in Barcelona.

Carney Chukwuemeka is a player with a lot of bright potential. I think AC Milan and Dortmund will be chasing him a lot more than Barcelona.

Surely there are plenty of clubs that would like to have Ronaldo. It could also be United's game that they try so hard to sell their skin. If United give the green light that Ronaldo can be sold, a lot of clubs will come. I think Bayern Munich would have liked him too. However, they already have Lewandovsky. They may also want to have Ronaldo with them. He can't go to Man City, which club will he be? Going to another club in England doesn't seem like a good idea to me. The fans will not like that. However, I think he will just stay at United.

It's surprising that the five times Ballon d'or award winner have been turned down by too many club's Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and also Athletico Madrid some days ago. I think the president has openly said also that they don't need Ronaldo's adding as they poses a lot of players to harness thier achievements during the new season. According to Romano,  Ronaldo's agent seems to be chasing for new deals for him but no club has openly wanted him for he's service. Meanwhile Manchester United are l waiting on he's move to know if they get a younger player or not

But movements to Athletico Madrid is a no no! Don't dream and think about how it goes.

Dries Mertens will leave SSC Napoli after 9 years. He is 35 years old and does not want to stop playing football yet. He is a good striker and has a current market value of 4 million euros. He has scored 113 goals in 295 games in Serie A. He will definitely get a chance in Belgium. KAA Gent is his home club, so that would be possible.

Rumors about Ronaldo's potential move from Manchester United to Atletico seem to be getting hotter. Reportedly, Atletico are ready to sell Griezmann to give place to Ronaldo, so Atletico can use the salary for Griezmann allocations to Ronaldo. On the other hand, it is also reported that Ronaldo is also willing to cut his salary. If Ronaldo goes to Atletico, this could be a surprise for the rival club, Real Madrid. Because the player who gave many titles to Real Madrid, joins a team that can pose a threat in La Liga.
It can be good news for Juventus.
If Ronaldo goes to Madrid then Morata needs to leave and if he needs to leave he will probably want to come again in Italy with his family and the price will be cheap.

The rumors roaming around about Ronaldo's move to athletico Madrid is not a good news to me, it's clear he's a quality player and goal scorer but no longer that consistent at his his age, so moving to a team like athletico Madrid that are still struggling to win the champions league is not a good news to me, cause he's a age player, who can't meet up the team expectations. And the team is ready to sell two of their top striker's to get him to the team, but doing that will bring him too much stress cause the team will be total dependant on his performance and a lot will be expected from him. If he really wants to move from Manchester United he should choose any of the top teams in Europe or either go to any of the clubs in China or america to play so that he can be free from stress not a competing team like athletico Madrid.
