Juventus identify the Premier League duo as Morata alternatives

 Juventus will consider moves for Manchester United's Anthony Martial and Chelsea's Timo Werner if they fail in their pursuit of Alvaro Morata, according to a report. The 29-year-old striker spent the last two seasons on loan with Juve, where he scored 32 goals and registered 21 assists in 92 appearances across all competitions. However, Morata has returned to parent club Atletico Madrid this summer as Juve opted against activating his £29.7m option-to-buy clause, with the Turin-based outfit hoping to negotiate a lower fee. Massimiliano Allegri is keen for the Spain international to return to the Old Lady and views the striker as part of his ideal front three alongside Dusan Vlahovic and summer arrival Angel Di Maria.

Will Ronaldo could return to Serie A on loan from Man United?

  The idea of Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Serie A for Juventus, Napoli, Inter, or Milan is not out of the question, as his agent asks Manchester United to extend his contract and let him leave on loan to play the Champions League. The 37-year-old flew back to Manchester today and visited the Old Trafford training ground along with agent Jorge Mendes. He had been training by himself abroad, waiting for Manchester United to sell him. The meeting reportedly did not go well, with the Premier League side refusing to let Ronaldo leave on a permanent basis. According to Spanish sources, Jorge Mendes suggested a counter-proposal, letting CR7 extend his contract until June 2024 so that he can be sent out on loan this season to a club in the Champions League. Manchester United only qualified for the Europa League after a dismal Premier League campaign. The Serie A clubs in the Champions League this season are Milan, Inter, Napoli, and Ronaldo’s old haunt Juventus. He was with Bianconeri from 2018 to 2021, scoring 101 goals in 134 competitive appearances for the club.

Atletico Madrid chief :” Cristiano Ronaldo move impossible"

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo claims that a move for Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo is "practically impossible" for the La Liga outfit this summer. Speaking to El Partidazo de COPE, via the Daily Mirror, Cerezo said: "I don't know who invented the story of [Ronaldo], but it's practically impossible for him to come to Atletico de Madrid." However, Atletico chief Cerezo has played down speculation linking Ronaldo with a move to the Spanish side this summer. Ronaldo has not yet taken part in pre-season training after the Portuguese international was allowed to miss the Thailand and Australia tour for family reasons. Ronaldo is determined to compete in the Champions League with another team, and this means that he will have to leave Old Trafford only a year after his return. The 37-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford as he is keen to continue playing in the Champions League.
