These are very hot hours for Juventus regarding the future of Cristiano Ronaldo. After his debut on the bench on the occasion of Udinese-Juventus, CR7 wants to leave Juve IMO. As reported by Fantacalcio.it, Bianconeri ask at least 25 million euros to let the player leave, a figure that would interest Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
Another reason for that is That if the Kane deal does not complete, the last minute Ronaldo opportunity could arise for the citizens: Gabriel Jesus could also be included to accelerate the operation.

Harry Kane is staying. He tweeted this.

So, I wonder whether Manchester City would be able to sign Cristiano Ronaldo on the last week of the transfer window. But €25m is a really bad offer I think. I don't wait for Juventus to sell him for that amount. His market value is €45m now. Let's see whether City will manage to end the deal.

24M is very cheap price for Ronaldo because he can provide more than 20 to 30 goals a season. He is old but can score more goals than many younger strikers who have more expensive price. However, problem will mainly come from his salary. In pandemic chaotic, clubs will not readily to pay too high salary for new players. And as said, Ronaldo is old.

25m ish is the price they need to be even for the capital loss and the financial fair play since you know no one is like PSG and they can violate the FFP.

Anyway, I don't think he will go anywhere. The exultation for the goal (invalidated later) on Saturday speak for itself.

Ronaldo's agent had offered it but Manchester City didn't look at it wholeheartedly it seems that Pep Guardiola still wants the Harry Kane he wants, while Ronaldo is old and only has a few seasons left on the pitch maybe that will be a factor.
Maybe it is offered now because next season does not want to be a free transfer player so this is cheaper than what we imagine from the offer, is this still worth it and will Ronaldo be the top scorer again if he moves to Manchester?

When talking about Cristiano Ronaldo's possible farewell to Juventus, one must start from two assumptions: the player's desire to leave and the club's desire to get rid of the Portuguese's salary. Win-win.
CR7 is currently bound to the Bianconeri by a contract until June 30, 2022 for a salary of 30 million net per season. Juventus could thus settle for about 30 million which is a figure that would allow them not to record a capital loss in the budget.
If the cost of the card does not seem so high, the obstacle remains his salary. At the moment, only two clubs in Europe could guarantee the same salary to Cristiano Ronaldo: PSG and Manchester City.

Even though I was very enthusiastic about the goal. But ah now that I hate a bit, football technology. Yes, when viewed from two sides, it is profitable and detrimental, but in the end it doesn't matter. Of course not just you but all the fans, after such a phenomenal celebration and the emotional requirement of the goal being cancelled. It's sad, yes there will still be many matches, of course Juve must immediately improve for the next match.

Maybe the fact that Juventus did not win is also positive, the team will be able to conclude that the referees are not on their side and will not help them in controversial moments. You need to play so as not to leave your opponent a chance. I will repeat myself, but Juventus needs a more reliable goalkeeper, I didn’t like the Szczensnykh before, but now I see that he makes terrible mistakes, the first goal is his fault, he hit the ball in front of him, and jumped in the opponent’s feet, the second goal, it is purely his fault.

It's too early to say about where Roma will end in this season.

I'll say it, at least top three Grin

I think Mourinho works best with this kind of team, solid teamwork, without popular star players = no drama.
The last two teams he coached just had too much ego, this one I think will work.

Inter lost Lukaku, Juve lost Ronaldo, I think Roma has good chance to beat them :v

Ibra is a great player. It is unbelievable that he is performing at this age. I have seen many athletes feel old at this age. But Ibra is still doing great.

Ibra beats all rules of ageing and what he achieves in his career is unbelievable. What he achieves in AC Milan in the last 2 years is amazing.

Ibra, Ronaldo and Messi are the most amazing players in the past 3 decades and they are gifts for us to enjoy the beauty of football. Ibra will retire, then Ronaldo and Messi. We will have to wait many more years to see other great players like them.

Quote

However, he can never be considered the main striker of the team. The older he gets, He is more likely to be injured. So his replacement is definitely needed.

Agree and AC Milan need to prepare it as best as possible. They got luck with the return of Ibra but for long future, they will need a great and younger striker who they are not found in this summer. Ante Rebic is no longer young and he is not a striker for Milan future plan.

AC Milan now can only look for players who are not too expensive on the market.

After obliterating Genoa 4-0, the next opponent of Inter is Verona. And I would like to add that it is an away match. Verona made Sassuolo some difficulties in their first match of the season. But Sassuolo still managed to win it 3-2. And when it comes to the head-to-head matches, I see that Inter are pretty dominant against them. In their last match, Inter beat them 2-1 here. There is nothing holding Inter back from winning here again. And I believe that they will manage to do so.

I don't see the possibility of Inter Milan losing any points against Hellas Verona. My guess is that Inter will be able to win this match by 3-1 goals. Still, it's hard to predict about Verona. They suddenly make outstanding performances in any match. However, my bet in this match is in favor of Inter's victory.

Everything can happen in football, Dybala playing well in the first half, I will think the same as you, money in my hand. but what happened in the second half is a dumb thing. Szczesny, I don't know what he's thinking, his blunder makes my money lost either and maybe I want to blame VAR too which make Ronaldo's goal disallowed on injured time.

Milan played a really tough game against Sampdoria yesterday. We watched a quite balanced and competitive game. I think that Milan were worse in the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is expected to return on the next match day. But I'm not sure if we can see him play then. Milan still managed to win the game 1-0 and Diaz scored it. I hope that we can see a much better Milan in this season. They were doing quite good until a point in the last season. Then, they lost their form and Inter pulled away from them.

A first match in a season is always difficult because it is a first match after long vacation in summer. Players need to be warmed up with real matches to get their best performance. Anyway, AC Milan got three points and they can aim to the next matches.
I think they can not rely too much on Ibrahimovic who is at the very end seasons in his career. At his age, many players would retire already.

Yeah, at that age there are not many players who can still choose to continue to play. But Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a very special player. Who knows at what age he will decide to retire. But I agree that Milan shouldn't be depending on Zlatan only. They can't go on like this forever in the end. Whatever the team are, the most important thing is teamplay. As long as the teamplay is more than OK, that team can achieve successes even without having their best player.

Too much speculation about Ronaldo, why he isn't a starter, the rumors said he wants not to be a starter but another rumor said is just a tactic and strategy from Allegri, I don't know which one is true. but, from this situation, we all know something happens with Ronaldo, this is not as usual, In my opinion, possible there is a conflict between player and coach.

I highly doubt that Ronaldo ever be okay with being on the bench, this is Ronaldo we are talking about and he cares about that kind of thing a lot. This must have made him feel like he is not good enough to be in the starting eleven and that is one of the most important parts, I mean we are talking about something that is demanding for a player for his caliber and that is a very important factor.

Ronaldo could go to City or PSG and can still play every single game because he is THAT good and we all know it, so there is no strategy that could see him coming off bench and provide more to the team instead being on the pitch for 90 minutes which we all know he can do nearly every single game.

Juventus got a really surprising result vs Udinese on the opening week. But the blame was on their goalkeeper of course. Because he made incredibly simple mistakes which helped Udinese come to life. Ronaldo's goal was cancelled and it was a close call.

This week, they will want to compensate this simple point loss. And their opponent is Empoli. The match is 4 days later. I think that Juventus will tear them apart.

I liked watching new Roma with Jose Mourinho. They had a tough match against Fiorentina. It was a difficult start for Mourinho but he managed to handle it perfectly. But I must add that the red card Fiorentina got in the 17th minute changed the fate of the match also. Tammy Abraham had a great start by making 2 assists. And I appreciated Veretout's performance also (2 goals). They won 3-1 and their next opponent is Salernitana.

Roma are always good with attacking and their problems are from defense system. Mourinho is an expert on defense and he might help Roma having good improvement in defense ability. Vertout scored two goals in the match and it is not what he usually does. It's a memorable match for Vertout.

After seeing Roma's great performance against Fiorentina, I started thinking about what position they will finish the season at. I know that it is early to say something about it but their effort was promising to me. Tammy Abraham also seemed like he adapted to the team very quickly. If Mourinho continues to have a good game plan, they can finish the league in top 4 and qualify for the CL I believe.

It's too early to say about where Roma will end in this season. Tammy shows some good connections with his mates and looks like Roma has a good transfer with Tammy. If he continues like this, Roma will not only have a striker with goal scoring ability but with good general contributions and connections with team mate.

Among the top teams I'm only disappointed with Juventus. Indeed, Juventus play away but I don't think it will stop Juventus from getting full points in the opening match. We can see other top teams playing away like Atalanta, Lazio and Milan, they have the same tough opponents as well but they can win and get full points. I also realize this is only the beginning, but if you look at the Juventus game when Ronaldo scored in the last minute, you can see how they were expressed and happy but in the end the goal was disallowed. It was an overexpression and happiness in my opinion whereas it was only a meaningful early game, they put all their effort into it but still didn't get the win. That way, I think it will be a big question mark for Allegri, whether Allegri can still bring Juventus to win the title or not this season.

If Ronaldo is consistent with his words, he will not leave Juventus to join Man City. however, Ronaldo still has respect for United, and he has said that he will not play for his former club's rivals. Indeed, only PSG have the potential to sign Ronaldo, but there is Messi there who is a personal rival for him. Is it possible that he will play together? It doesn't seem possible either. If MU make another contact with him, maybe Ronaldo can back to EPL again wit the red devil.

I just read that Chievo has officially disbanded. According to the history that I know Chievo have competed in Serie A, before being relegated to Serie B. They are quite good and in the masses they often occupy the middle of the temporary ranking list. But I just heard that this year, to be precise in July Chievo was kicked out of the Serie B. The problem is financial problems and tax arrears, they can't prove their obligations. They've tried to find investors and start from Series D, but it seems that it failed.
