    Rio Ferdinand slams Man Utd for failing to sign Juventus star Federico Chiesa as Chelsea prepare fresh transfer bid

    by

    RIO FERDINAND reckons Manchester United may have missed a trick when they failed to add Federico Chiesa to their ranks in the summer.And it is thought Chelsea could be set to make another move for the Juventus loan star amid reports of the Blues bid being rejected.
    Rio Ferdinand questioned why Man United and other Prem sides have not signed Federico Chiesa
    Chiesa, 23, is in the second year of a two-year loan at Juve from Fiorentina and helped Italy to win Euro 2020 championship. 
    The forward, who made 46 Juve appearances last term, wowed pundits including Ferdinand when he netted the winner during the Italians’ 1-0 Champions League group stage defeat of Chelsea. 
    Speaking of Prem clubs failing to buy the player in the summer, Ferdinand told BT Sport: “He’s a huge player and he’s been linked with a few clubs in England.
    “I’m sure they’re thinking ‘why didn’t we get him?’
    “He’s just a fantastic footballer. The intensity with which he plays with, we saw in the Euros. 
    “He was the main goal threat for the Italians who went on to win the tournament.
    “He’s that modern-day striker who can play anywhere across the front line and he’s as comfortable out wide as he is through the middle. 
    “He unnerves defenders with that pace, he’s so direct.”
    Ferdinand’s fellow BT Sport commentator Joe Cole also praised Chiesa, who notched up 15 goals in 46 games across all competitions for Juve last season. 

    And the Chelsea academy coach reckons the Azzurri winger’s playing style is similar to Atletico Madrid’s Luiz Suarez. 
    Cole told BT Sport: “The biggest attribute he’s got is he plays with a humility.
    “He’s hustling and bustling like a young Luis Suarez character, he can make something out of nothing.
    “Every club in Europe will want a slice of him when he becomes available.”
    Chiesa made a switch to Juventus on a two-year loan prior to a permanent move which could be in the region of £54million if certain terms are met. 
    It is reported that Chelsea are preparing to make an offer of around £85million with Bayern Munich and Liverpool also thought to be keen. 
    But it is thought Massimo Allegri’s side considers the forward to be a key part of their plans.
    It reported the club are looking to sign the player permanently for £43m next year.

      Morata joined Chelsea from Real Madrid following a club-record £70million deal almost four years ago but struggled to stand out at Stamford Bridge.

      The Spain international appears to have regained his old form and is loving life with his wife and three kids.

      “Edoardo is very calm and good. He laughs all day, he never cries.”
      Alice also opened up about her recent bout with postpartum and sent a message of encouragement to other women who are dealing with the same issue.
      The Italian entrepreneur said that the effect is normal and is important for everyone to find balance.

      Alice added: “Now I am psychologically well but I have had a difficult time.
      “I would like to speak it well another day to help women who are going through the same thing.
      “I want to tell you that it is normal to go through difficult times because it is a very big change. It is a matter of finding the balance.
      “Everything happens. After the first 2 or 3 months everything is great and it returns to normal.”

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO’S brace against Udinese kept Juventus’ Champions League hopes alive on a night the Old Lady was forced to hand over her crown.Juve saw their nine-year reign as Serie A champions end on Sunday when Atalanta drew 1-1 at Sassuolo, a result that effectively led to Inter Milan winning their first Scudetto in 11 years.
      Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice against Udinese
      But that doesn’t mean Andrea Pirlo’s men don’t have something to fight for as they still need to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
      And their hopes are still very much alive thanks to Ronaldo’s performance at the Dacia Arena.
      The star forward led Juventus to a 2-1 victory over Udinese and proved what a difference maker he still is despite his advanced age of 36.
      The hosts led for most of the match following Nahuel Molina’s opener after just 10 minutes.
      But then Ronaldo took matters into his own hands and equalised on 83 minutes from the penalty spot following a handball by Rodrigo De Paul.
      The Manchester United legend inspired a comeback just six minutes later when he headed the ball into Simone Scuffet’s net.
      Thanks to the ex-Real Madrid star’s performance, Juventus are now level on points with second-place Atalanta and AC Milan.

      She also posted a picture of the pair together and their family inside their plush home.
      Their muted celebrations included gold balloons with the year 2021.
      It’s not clear whether it’s the same diamond ring that set Cristiano back a whopping £615,000.
      GamblingDeals compiled a list of the most expensive engagement rings in football – and Ronaldo was top of the list.

      Ronaldo posted on Instagram last night: “2020 was not an easy year, there’s no doubt about it.
      “No one can be indifferent to the pain and suffering that COVID-19 brought upon the world.
      “But now it’s time to bounce back and show that, together, we can make a difference.
      “Because no matter how hard is the fall, what really defines us is the way we get back on our feet and how fast we are ready to face new obstacles.

      Ronaldo and Georgina recently celebrated at an awards ceremony in Dubai – where he was named Player of the Century
      “So let’s try to turn 2021 into a turning point, a new beginning, a fresh start. Because all us – and I do mean all of us – can still become better versions of ourselves. And if we do it all together, that might actually be the secret to turn things around for the better.
      “Happy New Year! And may 2021 be a year to always remember for the best reasons!”
      Georgina and Ronaldo have two-year-old daughter Alana together and are raising his other three children – surrogate twins Eva and Mateo, three, and ten-year-old Cristiano Jr.
      The couple first enjoyed a string of dates towards the end of 2016.
      Ronaldo is thought to have asked the beauty to marry him in 2018.
      The former Manchester United forward, who donated huge sums of money to help medical supplies during the coronavirus crisis, has always insisted they will wed.

      Telling Piers Morgan of the couple’s “true love” on ITV last year, he added: “She helped me so much. Of course, I’m in love with her.
      “We’ll be [married] one day, for sure. It’s my mum’s dream as well.”
      Georgina has been snapped wearing a ring a number of times and in 2018 gave the biggest hint she was engaged to Ronaldo by commenting on a post of a Cartier sparkler.

      Cristiano Ronaldo facing police probe and £900 fine along with six other Juventus stars over ‘quarantine rules breach’

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO and six other Juventus team-mates face a potential police probe and £900 fine for an alleged quarantine rules breach.
      The players left Juventus’ retreat on Monday morning, where the Serie A kings were in isolation.

      Juventus were living in a bubble within their camp at Continassa after two cases of coronavirus were found last Saturday.
      According to TuttoSport, Gianluigi Buffon and Merih Demiral decided to leave the camp and return to their respective homes on Monday morning.
      And Rodrigo Bentancur, Juan Cuadrado, Danilo, Paulo Dybala and Ronaldo reportedly departed to play for their national teams.
      It is claimed Juventus could not stop their players from leaving the bubble and when they did it became an individual responsibility.

      The Italian champions then informed members of ASL, the local health unit, who confirmed they received the report directly from the club.
      Names of the players who left the isolation bubble were then given to the Prosecutor’s Office.
      Corriere di Torino revealed Roberto Testi, the director of the Prevention Department of the ASL Citta di Torino, indicated nothing controversial will come from the rule breach.
      Testi said “I don’t think anything serious has been committed and if someone were to take a private flight, maybe they’ll pay a fine and I don’t think any players will have problems doing it.”

      At Continassa, Andrea Pirlo’s team continued to train in isolation, including some players who received international call-ups during the current break.
      Italy manager Roberto Mancini said he expected Juventus players to arrive, but the isolation period will reportedly only end once all the protocol checks are completed.
      Ronaldo was in the Portugal squad that drew 0-0 with Spain on Wednesday and plays France and Sweden in Nations League fixtures.
      But the 35-year-old received devastating news that his £7million home in Madeira was burgled while he was on international duty.
      Partner Georgina Rodriguez was also away at Paris Fashion Week.
      The chancer is claimed to have snuck into the house after a member of Ronaldo’s staff opened the garage door, according to respected local paper Diario de Noticias Madeira.
      Police are said to be on the hunt for the suspected burgler.

      Juventus so desperate to get rid of Higuain they will take £16.2m hit with NO transfer offers for ex-Chelsea striker

      by

      JUVENTUS are willing to take a £16.2million hit to get Gonzalo Higuain off their books, according to reports.
      The ex-Chelsea striker has a contract in Turin until 2021 but does not fit into the plans of new Juve manager Andrea Pirlo.

      However, according to Tuttosport, there is no interest in Higuain from other clubs and he will only agree to leave if he is paid the £6.75million in wages he is due for the remaining year of his deal.
      Negotiating a mutual termination of the Argentine’s contract would allow the ex-Napoli frontman to become a free agent and decide his own future.
      Despite signing Higuain for £75.3million from Napoli in 2016, Juve are willing to make a £16.2million loss – based on howmuch that final year would cost with that transfer fee – on the 32-year-old to start afresh.
      Juventus have been trying to shift Higuain and his wages since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018.

      El Pipita spent the 2018-19 season on loan at AC Milan and then Chelsea under his former Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri, but neither club were convinced to make the transfer permanent.
      Despite Sarri’s arrival in Turin last summer, the Bianconeri had again hoped to sell Higuain to balance their books but the striker rejected all offers in order to fight for his place.

      Manager Andrea Pirlo only pockets £1.6million-per-year after taking charge of the club

      He eventually found some game time under Sarri, scoring 11 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions last season, but new Juve coach Pirlo seems to have made a decision on Higuain’s future already.
      Reports yesterday suggested both the Argentine and German midfielder Sami Khedira were set to be axed by Pirlo as he attempts to rejuvenate his ageing squad.

      Higuain’s former club River Plate was suggested as a possible destination for the striker while he spent lockdown in Buenos Aires.
