Fabrizio Romano spoke about the Rodri transfer situation:
“Yes, Rodri is willing to join the club by any means. His salary isn’t the issue, and he has even decided to take a pay cut. The main problem is Barcelona’s reluctance to meet Manchester City’s asking price and their insistence on paying the fee in installments.
Manchester City reportedly don’t trust Barcelona’s payment structure, especially after the Ferran Torres deal, which took Barcelona three years to fully complete.
As things stand, Napoli could now be Rodri’s most likely destination, with talks already underway.”
David Beckham, reportedly backed by an anonymous US billionaire, is said to be interested in making a move to buy Manchester United. With the club’s valuation estimated to be around $7 billion–$10 billion, the group is reportedly prepared to offer even more in order to complete the purchase.
According to reports, the billionaire is the driving force behind the potential takeover, describing Manchester United as his childhood club and expressing a desire to rewrite the club’s history, restore its dominance, and bring it back to the top as the best football club in the world.
After their draw against Fiorentina yesterday, José Mourinho reportedly expressed his disappointment with the team’s performance, insisting that more reinforcements are needed before the squad can compete at the expected level.
He said:
“I’m very disappointed. I wasn’t expecting us to play that way. It clearly shows me that the team is not strong enough yet. We still need at least three more signings, and I’ve already told the president that we’re working on it. This squad needs improvement, and we’re also expecting some departures. More signings will come, but I won’t mention any names.”
