Transfer news today July 10: Ronaldo confirms leaving Al Nassr; Man Utd officially recruits Leny Yoro; Manchester United confirms welcoming third new player.
Ronaldo considers leaving Al Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar, is reportedly considering leaving Al Nassr after a disappointing season in the Saudi Pro League. According to multiple sources, Sporting Lisbon, the club where Ronaldo began his professional career, has emerged as a potential destination for CR7. Ronaldo’s performances at Al Nassr have also not been as expected. He has scored some important goals, but has not been able to maintain a consistent form. This has led to rumors that Ronaldo is unhappy at the club and wants to leave.
Ronaldo considers leaving Al Nassr to return to Europe.
Sporting Lisbon, the club where Ronaldo began his professional career, has quickly become a potential destination for CR7. Ronaldo is said to still love Sporting Lisbon very much and wants to return to the club to end his career. However, Ronaldo’s return to Sporting Lisbon will not be easy. Al Nassr is said to require a large transfer fee to release him. In addition, Ronaldo’s salary is also a big problem for Sporting Lisbon.
Man Utd officially recruit Leny Yoro
Manchester United have agreed a €50 million transfer fee with Lille to sign talented young centre-back Leny Yoro. However, the Red Devils are still trying to negotiate a personal contract with the 18-year-old, who is said to want to join Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid’s offer does not meet Lille’s valuation, the French club are under pressure to sell Yoro this summer as his contract only has one year left. If they fail to reach an agreement with Real Madrid, Lille risk losing Yoro for free next summer.
Man Utd officially activates Leny Yoro deal.
United are implementing a smart and efficient transfer plan, avoiding getting caught up in lengthy and expensive deals. They have targeted a number of suitable centre-backs, including Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt, alongside Leny Yoro. This strategy has helped United avoid being forced to pay more and secure quality signings. All three centre-back targets targeted by the “Red Devils” are highly rated and could provide a significant boost to the team’s defence.
Manchester United recruits 2 strikers at the same time
Manchester United are considering a move for Ivan Toney or Dominic Calvert-Lewin after completing the signing of Joshua Zirkzee, according to The Athletic. Internal discussions at Old Trafford have focused on the two England strikers, both of whom have just one year left on their current contracts and have expressed a desire to leave.
Man United recruited both Calvert-Lewin and Ivan Toney.
Brentford are said to want £60m for Toney, but could accept a lower price of around £40m. Meanwhile, Everton’s financial woes mean they are willing to sell Calvert-Lewin for around £30m to avoid losing him for free in 2025. Although Calvert-Lewin’s injury history is a concern, United note that he made 38 appearances last season, more than new signing Rasmus Hojlund, and scored seven goals.
Man United confirms third new signing, Ten Hag completes dream team to challenge Pep Guardiola
After Mathijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee, Man Utd have reached an agreement with the Ligue 1 representative to bring in the third new player in the summer transfer window of 2024, helping coach Ten Hag complete his dream defense.
