Ronaldo probably wishes that Juventus wanted him and not Anthony Martial or Timo Werner…
RONALDO WANTS OUT NOW
‘CRISTIANO RONALDO will fly into England and demand to leave Manchester United NOW,’ opens the piece in The Sun, who seem to have forgotten that he is under contract so can demand nothing of the sort. All he can really do is ask nicely. But then even that won’t work if nobody wants to buy him, and so far Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Atletico and Napoli have all said no.
Ronaldo wants a permanent transfer away and Manchester United won’t sell so one solution seems to be that Ronaldo goes on loan somewhere for a season and then returns to play at least one year at Old Trafford, assuming they get in the Champions League. But it seems that Ronaldo is not minded for that kind of deal. He wants out NOW.

That means Juve are looking at alternatives and those alternatives – according to this report – are Manchester United striker Anthony Martial and Chelsea flop Timo Werner.

Saliba has been playing very well in pre-season for Arsenal after spending three years on loan in France and he is very much part of Mikel Arteta’s plans. Saliba was a weapon against Mikel Arteta but might become his Arsenal legacy.
Saliba is yet to sign a new contract with Arsenal and his agent is clearly keeping his options open in case the pre-season promises of Arteta come to nought and he tries to pack him off to Nice on loan.
