Cristiano Ronaldo aims to extend Al Nassr stay, while Manchester United eyes Benfica's Joao Neves
Posted : 10 October 2023
Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his desire to prolong his contract with Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr until 2027, as reported by football journalist Ali Al-Harbi. Despite being 38 years old, Ronaldo continues to shine, scoring 25 goals in 30 games for the Saudi club while representing Portugal at the international level. His goal is to play in the 2026 World Cup as a member of Al Nassr before retiring from football. This news comes from a report in the Mail.
In another transfer-related story, Manchester United is monitoring the progress of Benfica's young midfielder, Joao Neves. However, United would need to meet a substantial release clause of £103 million to secure his services. Neves, a 19-year-old talent, has been on United's radar, with their scouts closely following his performances. Although he recently signed a contract with Benfica running through 2028, his standout performances have attracted attention not only from Manchester United but also from the Portugal national team.
In a concerning development for Manchester United, there are reports that they may consider selling Jadon Sancho in January if he doesn't apologize to manager Erik ten Hag. Sancho has been training separately from the first-team squad after publicly expressing frustration about being a "scapegoat" and having his commitment questioned by Ten Hag. The club is reportedly willing to subsidize his wages to facilitate a loan move in January. Juventus and Borussia Dortmund have been linked as potential destinations for the English forward.
Lastly, it's been suggested that Chelsea is prepared to sell Romelu Lukaku to Roma for £37 million at the end of the season. Lukaku, who rejoined Chelsea from Inter Milan for a substantial fee, has made a significant impact at Roma, scoring seven goals in eight games. Chelsea is said to have agreed to make Lukaku available for this fixed fee, and the Belgian striker is unlikely to play for Chelsea again, having not been involved in their pre-season preparations. This information was first reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and covered by The Sun.
