Ronaldo Links Heat Up as Tonali Draws Premier League Interest
The transfer rumor mill is already spinning fast, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s future once again dominating headlines and several Premier League giants circling Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali.
From potential blockbuster returns to Old Trafford to midfield battles involving Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea, the early narratives for the next window are beginning to take shape.
Cristiano Ronaldo Open to Europe and MLS Return
Interest in Cristiano Ronaldo is rapidly intensifying across Europe and MLS, according to multiple reports.
The 40-year-old refused to feature for Al Nassr in their recent Saudi Pro League win over Al Riyadh, with sources telling ESPN that Ronaldo is unhappy with how the league handled Karim Benzema’s move to Al Hilal.
Reports from the Manchester Evening News have linked the Portugal international with a sensational return to Manchester United, while other European heavyweights are also believed to be willing to reshape their sporting projects to accommodate the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Tonali on Radar of Arsenal, City and Chelsea
Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali is attracting serious interest from Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea, according to The Sun.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is said to admire the Italy international and sees him as a potential midfield partner for Declan Rice. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is also reportedly a fan of Tonali, as well as his Newcastle teammate Tino Livramento.
Chelsea are monitoring the situation, though Tonali is understood to be settled on Tyneside and not actively seeking a move away from Newcastle.
Rashford Wants Barcelona Stay
Marcus Rashford has no intention of returning to Manchester United when his loan spell at Barcelona expires this summer, according to The Mirror.
Barcelona hold a €30 million option to sign the forward permanently, and Rashford is keen to have his future resolved ahead of the 2026 World Cup. While interim United head coach Michael Carrick would like to convince him to stay if appointed permanently, Rashford has reportedly informed Barcelona that he wants to remain at Camp Nou or secure a move elsewhere.
Bayern Target U.S. Prospect as Gozo Attracts Suitors
Bayern Munich are in advanced talks to sign Charlotte FC winger Nimfasha Berchimas, according to The Athletic. The deal is being structured for the summer as the U.S. U20 international turns 18 later this month.
Elsewhere, Aston Villa and Atlético Madrid are showing strong interest in 18-year-old Real Salt Lake striker Zavier Gozo, with another American talent potentially heading to Europe.
Juventus Plan Summer Move for Kolo Muani
Juventus are planning a summer move for Randal Kolo Muani, currently on loan at Tottenham Hotspur from Paris Saint-Germain.
Juve were keen to bring the France international back during January but Spurs refused to release him. A permanent deal is expected to cost at least €50 million, with Juventus likely needing to sell Loïs Openda to fund the transfer.
