Ronaldo Returns To Al-Nassr, Rashford Eyes Barca …

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to end his strike at Al-Nassr and play again for the Saudi Pro League club on Saturday.

The 41-year-old Portugal forward has missed two games because he is unhappy with the way the club are run.

England international Marcus Rashford’s Barcelona future hangs on the club’s presidential election next month. A £26m deal for the on-loan Manchester United forward, 28, is the centrepiece of Joan Laporta’s re-election bid.

Manchester United will target Everton’s 25-year-old Senegal forward Iliman Ndiaye if Rashford moves to Barcelona in a permanent deal.

Bournemouth are planning to offer 19-year-old French forward Eli Junior Kroupi a lucrative new contract in a bid to ward off interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain.

Manchester City are preparing a £100m summer move for Nottingham Forest’s 23-year-old England midfielder Elliot Anderson.

Bayern Munich are not looking at Atletico Madrid’s Argentina forward Julian Alvarez, boosting Arsenal’s hopes of signing the 26-year-old.

AC Milan are confident Fulham will exercise a £21m option-to-buy for 26-year-old Nigeria winger Samuel Chukwueze, who is on loan at the Cottagers.

Manchester United are keen on Borussia Monchengladbach’s 23-year-old German midfielder Rocco Reitz, who is valued at about £35m.

Another Manchester United midfield target, Sandro Tonali of Newcastle United, is likely to have a price tag of up to £100m. The 25-year-old Italy midfielder is also attracting attention from Arsenal, Manchester City and Juventus.

The managerial merry-go-round might bring changes at a number of major clubs in the coming months, but Spaniard Luis Enrique says he is “so happy” at Ligue 1 PSG.

Among those looking for a big name are Real Madrid, who may make an approach for German Jurgen Klopp. France World Cup winner Zinedine Zidane is more likely to return for a third spell in the dugout though.

The Liverpool board will consider the future of Dutch manager Arne Slot if the club fail to qualify for the Champions League this season.

Daichi Kamada, 29, is set to leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season. The Japan midfielder’s contract expires in the summer and there are no extension talks.
