Cristiano Ronaldo To Quit Real And Join United After Fraud Allegations.

   Every summer we hear rumours about Ronaldo reuniting with Manchester United, then Real offer a bumper deal on the table and he stays. But this time is different!

   Cristiano Ronaldo is accused of defrauding the authorities of £13 million in tax between 2011 and 2014, and if that turns out to be true, then he's facing 6 years of jail time.

  A Bola reports that the Portuguese has told the club of his decision to leave. It's been rumoured that Florentino Perez is willing to support the 4-time-Ballon d'Or-winner, but if he wants to leave Perez won't stand in his way, and would name the price tag for interested clubs. Real Madrid released a statement supporting their #1 star on their official website,hoping he stays at the Santiago Bernabeu:

 "Real Madrid CF shows their full confidence in our player Cristiano Ronaldo, who we understand has acted in accordance with the legality regarding compliance with their tax obligations.

Cristiano Ronaldo has always shown since his arrival at Real Madrid CF, in July 2009, a clear will to fulfill all his tax obligations.

Real Madrid CF is absolutely convinced that our player Cristiano Ronaldo will prove his total innocence in this process.

Real Madrid CF hopes that the Justice will act as quickly as possible so that its innocence can be demonstrated as soon as possible."

   Though, a source close to the player told the BBC that the 32-year-old is is willing to leave Los Blancos. The source added:"He's very sad and really upset. He doesn't want to stay in Spain. At this moment, he wants to leave."

  It's obvious that Ronaldo's destination is a world class club, that plays Champions League. And the only clubs that are able to afford his €1 billion release clause, and pay his wages are Manchester United and Paris saint Germain. China move looks unlikely at the moment. It's not a good choice.

Ronaldo would like to return to the Premier League and rejoin the Red Devils, escaping the media and fraud allegations in Spain, where accusing players seems to be a trend. Manchester United fans are very excited about this potential move, and they would like to see Ronaldo again in the Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho could be an additional factor that would facilitate this deal, for the two have worked together in Real Madrid.  

                                                                                       

Chris Smalling On His Way To Arsenal?

   Few days ago, Manchester United officially announced signing Victor Lindelof from Benfica for £30 million. The defender is set to thrive at the Theatre of Dreams. His arrival will push the England international down the pecking order.

   Acording to The Telegraph, Jose Mourinho is willing to sell the player for around £15 million. The 27-year-old arrived from Fulham for £10 million in 2010, and he succeeded under Louis Van Gaal, winning the United's players' player of the year.

   Arsenal are looking to improve their defence, especially if Arsene Wenger is planning to stick with his 3-4-3. Everton and West Ham are also interested in the center back, but Arsenal seem closer, for they showed interest in the player before his move to Old Traford in 2010, then in 2014 when Van Gaal was open to selling the player.

   The deal seems complicated, because of the history of the two managers, although it looks like they resolved their issues. Moreover, the club prefers not to sell their players to rival teams, that fight for the the title. But Smalling looks persistant on his exit, so he hired a new agent this week, although he declared once that he'll fight for his place under Jose Mourinho, when the latter criticized him in front of the media.
 

Alvaro Morata to Undergo Medical at Manchester United!

    Manchester United are close in on signing Alvaro Morata from Spanish giants Real Madrid. The deal will cost the Red Devils about €73 million.

   Onda Cero Radio revealed that the deal is already done, and it may include add-ons, and the player should be on his way to Manchester on Monday to undergo medical and then sign a 5-year deal at Old Trafford.

   Morata admitted earlier this week that he does not want to leave Real and would prefer to fight for his place. But the Spaniard's agent, Juanma Lopez, met Florentino Perez on Friday and informed him that his employer wants to play for a team where he can get regular football, in order to secure a place in the Spain national team to play in the World Cup in Russia 2018.

   Still The Daily Mirror claim Real Madrid want in excess of this figure in retaliation for them missing out on David De Gea. But if a deal for Morata proves to be too complicated, Jose Mourinho could turn his attentions to Torino striker Andrea Belotti or even reignite his interest in Griezmann.

   The deal is said to be a record breaker if it happens. The 24-year-old will be the most expensive Spanish player in the history of football.
 

   

Dybala on Manchester United's radar

   Jose Mourinho is desperate to strengthen his attacking options for next season. He's on the hunt for a new forward, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic ruled out for the rest of the season because of his horrific knee injury, and Wayne Rooney rumoured to leave Old Trafford.

   Starsport reports that Mourinho cooled his interest in Atletico Madrid's man Antoine Griezmann, who was the 1st on the wishlist. And according to Mundo Deportivo, Dybala is the next target who's viewd as Wayne Rooney's heir, and identified by Mourinho as the perfect fit for Manchester United.

   This deal could be easier than ever, after Real Madrid shifted their interest to Monaco's starlet Kylian Mbappe, and Chelsea close on reuniting with Romelu Lukaku.

    The Argentine signed for Palermo in 2012. Dybala had his breakthrough season in the 2014–15 Serie A where he scored 10 goals in the first half of the season, forming a successful striking partnership with fellow Argentine–Italian Franco Vázquez and being linked with several top European clubs. He finished the season with 13 goals and 10 assists, which made him one of the top assist providers in the league. After this impressive season, Juventus announced the signing of Dybala on a five-year deal for a fee of €32 million (plus €8 million in add-ons).

   Since then, the 23-year-old has proved himself as one of Europe's best players, scoring 35 goals and providing 16 assists for the Old Lady. News about his transfer to top clubs in Europe bursted especially after his  2 valuable goals against Barcelona in the Champions League quarter final, despite signing a new deal last month which keeps him in Turin until 2022, earning €7 million per year.

   The versatile, skillfull player has been linked to Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, in addition to other EPL teams. But few hours ago, his agent played down speculations about the rising star's move to another club, and declared that he is happy in Torino, and that he has a long term deal with a team that can win things.

   But can we see Dybala play alongside Pogba, again?

 
 

   

Manchester United want Alvaro Morata to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic

   As soon as Antoine Griezmann announced that he's staying at Atletico Madrid after they lost their appeal against the transfer ban, Manchester United shifted their interest towards Alvaro Morata, who tops the teams wishlist right now. The club has been linked with a bunch of strikers, but Telegraph claims Morata is the most wanted.

   After Zlatan's horror injury, against Anderlecht on April 20, which will sideline him for about a year, United are keen on a striker to succeed the Swede and to reinforce their attack, which got Jose Mourinho complaining about wastefulness. But with the unbelievable price tags on both Lukaku (£100 million), and Belotti (£90 million), Morata's £50 million tag seems pretty cheap, as he has the same quality as them, maybe even better!

   Morata has struggled this season as he was the 2nd in pecking order, behind Karim Benzema, who was preferred by Zidane. Morata's move looks definite, but the destination is still unkown. The Spaniard has been linked to many top clubs in Europe. Chelsea's Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of the 24-year-old, and has the advantage of working with him before. Meanwhile, AC Milan also are keen on the center forward, and some reports claim that the 2 parties had an agreement. Milan's advantage is Serie A, and the player is familiar with this league. Arsenal are also reported to have an interest in the player, but their priorities now are Monaco's Kylian Mbappe and Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette.
 
   Manchester United may have one problem in their approach, which is De Gea. For about 2 years Real Madrid are dreaming about bringing the keeper inside their club's walls. This could be a chance for the Champions league winners, or an obstacle in front of the Red Devils.

Ex-Real Madrid star to Barcelona!

   FC Barcelona's season ended in the worst possible way, with winning only 1 trophy, the Spanish Cup, and losing La Liga to historical rivals Real Madrid, who won  the Champions League to make things worse for Barca. Last week Barcelona introduced their new coach Ernesto Valverde who promised to make Barca a bigger club. Still no signings were done although the club is highly in need for some, like the vaccant spot in the right back. But some players have been linked to the club, such as Manchester United's Ander Herrera and Arsenal's Hector Bellerin and others. But most shockingly is the presence of Di Maria's name among the players linked with Barca.

   According to Le Parisien and Mundo Deportivo Di Maria will come to Camp Nou as a replacement for Arda Turan who's linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium or to China. Arda was expected to do better when he moved from Atletico de Madrid to the Catalan club back in 2015. And with Rafinha rumored as a Liverpool target by Sport, Barcelona will need a midfielder/winger to fill the gaps.

   Although Turan's agent denied any link to the Gunners, reports say that Barcelona are willing to sell the player to help fund other transfers, or could be swapped with the blaugrana's #1 target Hector Bellerin.

   It is reported that Barcelona have shown interest in Di Maria before his move to Paris Saint Germain, but Real Madrid put a clause in his transfer deal to Manchester United preventing the club from selling the player to Barcelona. Now with the interest reignited and no clause obstacles, the deal could be possible, and Barca could use the help of Lionel Messi to lure the Argentine to the Nou Camp. Even some reports claim that Messi is the one who demanded that  Barca  should sign Di Maria, and this will facilitate negotiations between the 2 parties.

   Di Maria is a quick, tricky and talented winger who is also capable of playing as a more central attacking midfielder or on either side of the pitch, although he is predominantly a left-footed player. In recent years, he has even been deployed to great effect as a central midfielder, in particular under Carlo Ancelotti's tenure with Real Madrid. Di Maria is an agile, creative and highly technical player who possesses excellent dribbling skills and ball control, as well as great pace, stamina and acceleration, attributes which allow him to beat players easily in one-on-one situations. He is also gifted with excellent vision, set-piece delivery, passing, and crossing ability, which allow him to function effectively as a playmaker and as an assist provider, although he is also capable of scoring goals himself. Despite not being physically imposing, he is also a very hard-working player, and he improved on the defensive aspect of his game under manager José Mourinho. These characteristics qualify the 29-year-old to play for Barcelona, and make him suitable to replace aging Iniesta.

   This move will be a shock for Madridistas, who are always mad at their own players. It seems like he is betraying his old team, but in fact it was the club's fault to let him go. Florentino Perez didn't want to renew and improve his contract, eventhough he was a vital player for the team at the time, and had potential to improve even more.

The De Gea SAGA continues!

As Manchester United renew their interest in signing Rafael Varane to improve their defence, David De Gea is, again, linked with a move to Santiago Bernabeu. Although Keylor Navas has had a good season, and was impressive in some occasions, Real Madrid seem to prefer the Spaniard who is on the fan's top wishlist. That's why Florentino Perez is working hard to sign the goalkeeper. If the fans are happy he'll get a chance to continue as president of the club, after he failed to sign Neymar Da Silva when rivals Fc Barcelona snapped him, which made fans grow mad at him. The deal could be a tripple deal, for Manchester would take full advantage from selling one of their best players who is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. So James Rodriguez could be included in the deal. James had a tough time in Madrid and he wants more playing minutes ,but he faced fierce challenge from teammates to feature in the starting XI with Isco and Marco Asensio and others. He was benched for the most part of the season. Although his wife said that he's staying at Madrid and he hinted that while celebrating against Barcelona in the dramatic El Classico, but it seems that he has no place there. And with Morata linked with AC Milan, a move to Old Trafford is likely to happen if he doesn't sign with Liverpool who put 60 million euros to invest in  the attacking midfielder. The Colombian is for sure moving away after Ronaldo said:"I would tell James to stay but we have to respect his decision. He has his reasons". But to swap 2 key players with a goalkeeper would be insane, so maybe he's on his way to Anfield.

Alvaro Morata agrees personal terms with AC Milan

Reports say that Alvaro Morata agreed a 5 year-deal with italian giants AC Milan with a wage of 8 million euros per year. The transfer fee is said to be 50 million euros.Chelsea, Manchester united,and Arsenal were interested in the striker.

MUFC target Alexandre Lacazette

Rumor: Manchester United join the race with Arsenal, Paris Saint Germain, Westham, and Tottenham to sign Lyon's star Alexandre Lacazette for 59.6 million euros. These teams are keen to sign a striker to reinforce their squads.
Who will close the deal?
