      Cristiano Ronaldo to be joined in Saudi Arabia by forgotten Man Utd star after club ‘agrees transfer’

      CRISTIANO RONALDO could be joined in Saudi Arabia by one of his forgotten former Manchester United team-mates.Ronaldo, 38, sparked a mass of transfers to the Middle Eastern country when he signed for Al-Nassr in January.

      And now he looks on course to be reunited with Alex Telles at the Saudi Pro League side.
      According to Fabrizio Romano, United are close to finalising a deal with Al-Nassr for the left-back, with a verbal agreement in place.
      It is thought the transfer will be sealed as soon as the documents and final checks are completed.
      Al-Nassr also want to land Lens’ former Manchester City academy midfielder Sefo Fofana.

      Telles, 30, joined United from Porto in a £15.4million deal in 2020.
      However, he has struggled to make an impression at Old Trafford, failing to dislodge Luke Shaw from the spot.
      Tyrell Malacia also joined the Red Devils last summer, further pushing Telles down the pecking order.
      The 12-cap Brazil international spent last season on loan at Sevilla.

      He made 38 appearances for the Spanish giants, including 94 minutes in the Europa League final as they beat Roma on penalties.
      But Telles has not reported for pre-season with United and looks set to be sold this summer.
      Al-Nassr have already brought in Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic this summer.
      The midfielder arrived fresh from reaching the Champions League final with Inter Milan.
      But their hopes of signing Hakim Ziyech fell through when he reportedly failed a medical and then refused a major pay cut.
      However, Al-Nassr were hit with a ban on registering new players by Fifa after refusing to pay £390,000 in add-ons they owe Leicester City for Ahmed Musa, who left the Foxes in 2018.
      And their pre-season woes took another hit when Ronaldo’s side were stuffed 5-0 in a friendly against Celta Vigo.

      According to Foot Mercato, agent Jorge Mendes is actively trying to secure a move for Silva.
      Among the interested parties are said to be the French champions, PSG.
      The report adds the Ligue 1 club have already made several offers to City for the five-time Premier League winner who joined the club in 2017 and has made more than 300 appearances.
      However, with no deal struck, they are also allegedly exploring the chance to secure a player swap.

      And a trio of huge names have all been suggested as possible makeweights.
      Italian duo goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and midfielder Marco Verratti could be offered to City.
      And defender Presnel Kimpembe is another option.
      However, with Ederson the clear No1 at the Etihad, Donnarumma would likely be surplus to requirements.

      Verratti would be a quality addition into the midfield, especially following Ilkay Gundogan’s departure and the failure to land Declan Rice – although City have landed Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea.
      Kimpembe – a former Chelsea target – does have a World Cup winner’s medal but would not be a significant improvement on Ruben Dias, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Aymeric Laporte or Manuel Akanji.
      PSG have already brought in midfielders Marco Asensio, Manuel Ugarte, Lee Kang-in and teenager Cher Ndour.
      Hugo Ekitike, Milan Skriniar and Lucas Hernandez also joined the reigning French champions.
      However, Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos both left when their contracts expired.

      Inter Milan head the likely suitors after pulling out of the race for Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku.
      Brooklyn-born Balogun, who scored 22 goals on loan at Ligue 1 Reims last season, swapped nationalities to declare for the country of his birth and made his USA debut last month.
      And the striker, 22, appears to be reconciling himself with leaving Arsenal.
      He said: “I went away and the point was to prove I could play first team football.

      “I feel I was able to do that and show people I can play at that level.

      Balogun has travelled with the rest of the Arsenal squad to the USA as manager Mikel Arteta assesses his squad ahead of the upcoming season.
      The striker’s successful spell on loan in Ligue 1 puts him in a good position to apply pressure on the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
      But Arsenal are willing to sell if the right offer comes in – particularly already committing to spending a potential £210million this summer if add-ons are met. More

      by

      DAVID DE GEA could be set for an instant return to football after being released by Manchester United this month.The Spanish stopper was the club’s highest earner on £375,000-a-week but United did not renew his deal after setting their sights on Andre Onana.

      According to the Daily Star though, De Gea could be set to DOUBLE his salary following ‘lucrative’ offers from Saudi clubs this summer.
      A reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo could be on the cards with Al-Nassr being one of the interested parties.
      However the Riyadh based club are currently on a transfer ban owing to outstanding payments – opening the door for other Saudi sides to swoop.
      De Gea initially looked set to extend his stay at United – with the stopper being willing to accept a paycut to fight for his place.
      READ MORE MAN UTD
      But with an agreement near, United withdrew the offer, leading to De Gea walking away from negotiations and ending his 12 year association with the club.
      United had initially looked at Everton keeper Jordan Pickford as De Gea’s replacement but baulked at the Toffees’ £70million price tag.
      The club then turned their sights to Onana – and are close to completing a £47m move with the keeper undergoing a medical later this week.
      De Gea leaves United as their most-capped goalkeeper in history having made 545 appearances.
      Most read in Football
      He won six major titles with United, winning the Premier League in 2013 and the Europa League in 2017.
      Following De Gea through the exit door could be now former captain Harry Maguire.
      Maguire confirmed yesterday that he had been stripped of the United captaincy – with manager Erik Ten Hag no longer seeing him as a reliable first-team option.
      He confirmed in a social media post that he was “extremely disappointed” with Ten Hag’s decision.
      West Ham are understood to be the front runners for Maguire’s signature – but potential buyers are being put off by United’s demands of a £50m fee.
      SunSport reported yesterday that Chelsea have joined West Ham, Tottenham and Newcastle in the race for Maguire’s signature. More
