Ronaldo ain't leaving Madrid. He isn't crazy. Besides what does 'support from the club' even means, when Real went out of their way in a statement to say they believe he is clean. It's not as if Real are doing his taxes for him. And since most of the players contracts are post-tax (good people on low salaries should be protected against tax rises) fixed, I think his problems are related to some image-rights scam in the isle of no taxation.
Perez asked the papers to remove all Ronaldo photos where he is wearing Madrid. We can speculate that he was not opposed to the pictures, but only the bad press.

Ronaldu already conquered Engerland and Spain, he should come and win it all in Italy to boost his chances of being recognized as GOAT by the time he retires.

Even if Ronaldo was a possibility which he is not, we should stay the fuck away from him. Other than being a world class disgusting asshole, a transferfigure of 200m and 23m net wages, is insanr for a 32 year old.

Yes but he is the closest thing to being a player to win you a champions league. That is the ONLY priority now.

The language used on Verratti seem to confirm that he is going to Barcelona. Don't be surprised if we end up with Iniesta on a free. That would not be a bad situation.

Cuadrado I feel is expendable. Hence an upgrade on Cuadrado and Iniesta would be a decent mercato.

So I would like it if we got: Iniesta, Tolisso style player, Di Maria or Costa, and Shick. Donarumma would also be nice.

Ronaldo is not going to win us anything by his own. That Real team is stacked in every position. Still having a better shot at the CHL this year and maybe the next is not worth risk loosing the long term financial stability of the club.

Chelsea are understood to have made a renewed bid for Kalidou Koulibaly, the Napoli defender, after their advances were first rebuffed almost a year ago.

Senegal international Koulibaly, who joined the Serie A club from Belgian side Genk in 2014, is the subject of a £53 million bid from the Premier League champions, according to a report from Tuttomercatoweb, who added that Napoli are ready to play hardball.



However, Koulibaly's agent reportedly told Mondo Napoli that his player 'might' be moving this summer while adding that Antonio Conte's team were a 'world-class' outfit.

A recent article in the London Evening Standard said that around 15 top players in Seria A are likely to be subject to bids, with Roma, Juventus, Lazio, Napoli, the 2 Milan clubs and Fiorentina bracing themselves in readiness for large bids.

It is speculated that a renewed bid for Alex Sandro from Conte will be made in the next few days after the first bid was rejected. Other players mentioned include Insigne, Mertens, Bonucci, Nainggolan, Bernardeschi, Salah, Felipe Anderson, Keita and Peresic.
