I think Di Maria has always been in the shadow of other players in his team. In the Argentine national team you always have Messi, of course, no name can compete with that. Aguero had you there too. He didn't do badly at Real Madrid, but you'll never be a striker if Ronaldo is in your team too. He wasn't bad at United, but I don't think he was able to show his best there. He only got really good later on. Now at PSG, he also has the problem of playing in a team with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe again. Then you are basically 4th choice.

Will he become the first choice at juventus this time?

I still not sure to be honest , he might be in the starting eleven for a season and or a couple of season and let's say doing well .. but with his current age at 34 years old if im not mistaken , he won't last long keep the performance up and stable.
Despite yeah .. the juventus winger next season won't have too many competition which di maria should become the first choice easily.
Well done juventus!

It is interesting news that Chelsea can enter the race to sign Frenkie de Jong too while Manchester United are still making a big effort to have him. Chelsea are thinking of making an offer like Azpilicueta + Alonso + 51 million pounds for de Jong. This probable offer might change things about this deal significantly. Barcelona's priority would still to keep him of course.

[kawetsriyanto]

I mean De Ligt is great for sure, but 85 million? Bayern got Mane and Ryan together for less than half that I think, or at least less than that. De Ligt is great and all, but a 85 million for Bayern seems to be a huge number. If this was like I don't know liverpool or city, or even chelsea, someone from EPL who has a deep pocket, or even PSG, then I would totally get it. Because those "companies" spend money, they are like a business more than a team. But Bayern barely ever spends over 40 million for anyone, and now to spend more than double that amount for a single player? I don't know man.

You seem not sure if Bayern has enough money to sign De Light. As Bayern is one of the top clubs in the world and regularly wins Bundesliga, they probably have the money to sign De Light. But they must think 85 million deserves or not for 1 center-back. De Light is still young (22 years old) and he is already a top center back. Actually, 85 million makes sense as his price, Bayern invest money for their future if they sign De Light. Now, it depends on Bayern, whether they want to invest for their future or not.

Is signing Ronaldo the best thing Chelsea can do right now? Looking at how he ended up in Manchester United and how many people expected a lot from him, it appears as if he is not in the team, he will not be able to take them to the Champions League as many people expected, signing for Chelsea may give the same, though anything can happen, but Chelsea could have looked for a young aged player to buy instead of Ronaldo.

If christiano Ronaldo eventually signed up by Chelsea it will be a total different experience from the last season when he was in Manchester United. Manchester United didn't end up with a good position but I think Ronaldo played a good role, his role would have been more effective if other Manchester United put in more effort like he did. Chelsea performed better than Manchester United,  just imagine of Ronaldo is in a club like Chelsea there will be more improvement.

No matter what anyone says, Ronaldo was one of Manchester United's best players this season and it's not his fault that the rest of the players are not so convincing and the club could not get into the Champions League. It is the fact that Ronaldo is not very happy with the level of the team and the transfer campaign of the club and is the reason that the player asked for the opportunity to move to another club. And if you move to another club, it is quite logical for him to fight for high goals and take part in the Champions League. The new Chelsea management needs to show the seriousness of their intentions in terms of media and the transition of such a famous footballer as Ronaldo is perfect for this purpose. Another question is that for the owner of the team and at the same time holding the post of Chelsea sports director Todd Boeli, the opinion of head coach Thomas Tuchel is important, about which there is conflicting information, so there is still not everything completely unambiguous.

New update is that De Ligt ONLY wants to join Bayern now. A first official offer from Bayern is being prepared and could be presented in the next few days. Not sure what the offered amount would be like but I don't expect them to be splurging 85 million. Probably around 50? as a first official offer.

With a salary of €7m, Angel Di Maria will be the fifth highest paid player in Italy during his one season with Juventus. I think you're crazy letting a young Dyballa go for free and taking an old 34-year-old Di Maria. It is true that Juventus is a home for old people. Signing old and free players all the time. Juventus is always looking for free things in the market, because they are the perfect home for this type of player both on and off the field. I wish him the best of luck on his journey.

[Oluwa-btc]

Glad to see DiMaria is getting the respect he deserved as he really fought for every team he went from Real to United , PSG and now Juventus and he came as a free agent and that puts no pressure on him even if he is 34 years old he still has something to offer at the highest level of football.

Regarding Ronaldo ...I find those just pure speculations as I think he won't leave and most likely there is a pressure on-going on Man United in general to make this team fighting for EPL again as they kinda forgot the feeling of how is to fight for a title or even a trophy in the last years.

Clubs moving on! Yes he's GOATED! I respect him and love him as every fan would do ( Reminiscing chanting " Viva Ronaldo Running Down The Wing " ) But all seems Gon be over when he does leaves.
Those aren't speculated news in any way, he wants out and Manchester United needs to see the opportunity in these and give some young lads in the squad a better chance.

We'll feel the impact if he leaves but one thing that's for sure is that, Manchester will be great again as no player ( single ) is bigger than Manchester United. News moving hes no where to be found at the Pre-season tour team. New signing Nicknamed " Pit Bull " been handed jersey number 12 and Jersey number 8 to Bruno Fernandez

What I knew about this at first, if I'm not mistaken, they had an agreement on a new contract but indeed the arrival of Dusan was clearly one of the things that forced Juventus to be wiser in spending their money, which made a deal that was originally agreed to but suddenly Dybala's value was cut which made him unhappy.
Actually, in this case I also won't blame Juventus, especially during the last few seasons even though Dybala is indeed quite good but he is not too optimal in my opinion.

[MinoRaiola]

For De Ligt, Bayern seems to be the closer one to sign him. Chelsea almost abandoned that idea and are turning towards De Jong which will cost them a lot unless they agree to a swap deal to reduce the cost. Of course, Chelsea still have to fix their defence line. There is Kimpembe that might be available since PSG agreed on his departure if they find a good deal ~€60m..

Yes, it looks like FC Bayern is going to get there 2 center defenders some support. Lucas Hernandez and Upamecano are young and good players, on the outside right / left Bayern is well positioned, there I think they need no new player. I think the deal makes sense and Bayern gets him now for the defense.  One Goalgetter, one in midfield and one as a right defender is already there. And now one for the center defense.

[tygeade]

The competition for football next season will be even more fierce, and Chelsea cannot expect more from an aging player. I certainly tend to expect Chelsea to take on young and talented players. Although Ronaldo is still productive, it cannot be guaranteed to last long. If Chelsea looks to the Monster Club the changes to determine young players have already been made. Manchester City and Liverpool, for example, target players who have long-term prospects. That's the most appropriate thing Chelsea needs to take as well.

I believe that Chelsea would probably do something to get better. I mean this is premier league football and Chelsea is one of the top teams there. With the new owner wanting to show how much he wants to be part of it, he is going to spend a lot of money at first.

These type of people do not straight up spend their own money neither, they get like investors and such, so we are going to see a lot of new transfers. Maybe not all in the same off-season, but he is going to have some this year for sure. This is why I believe we should be quite happy to see what he is going to pull off. Chelsea fans at least should be very excited about it.

They actually need a center back. They parted ways with Sule after the expiration of his contract last month. They only have Upamecano as a center back and Lucas Hernandez to pair up sometimes. It is for sure that they will be eager to sign a defender to replace Sule. I think they can pull this deal regardless of Juventus asking fee. If they could pay €80M for Lucas Hernandez back in 2019, then meeting Juventus fee for De Ligt's deal won’t be an issue. If Bayern do pull off this signing, it would be another excellent coup in a window that has already brought them Sadio Mane and Ryan Gravenberch.

But even though it's actually like that, I'm still not too sure whether they can bring Ronaldo or not in this case, even though Todd Boehly has prepared a lot of money, I'm not too sure that Ronaldo will go there.

 It seems Todd Boehly has big plans for Chelsea. But bringing Ronaldo on board feels like a bit of a stretch to me. No offense to CR7, but I think there will not be much he'd contribute because we have the likes of ngolo, Kai havertz and Mount, he may not really have much impact. Take his stint at Man United for instance.

When a star is old, the influence is only about his name and also his experience in every match, because in terms of performance it has clearly started to decline even though he still has the ability to score goals. But it is always based on very good cooperation within a team so that its potential can be seen and also the team can benefit. Because a team will not develop if each player only puts forward their respective egos to show themselves the best without collaborating with other players.

If we talk about Cristiano Ronaldo not being able to take Manchester United to the Champions League, of course we have to see how Manchester United works as a whole. We cannot say that Ronaldo is not on par with a club with such team performance. It's very difficult for any player to do something extraordinary at Manchester United like last season.

[cygan]

the transfer of Steven Bergwijn from tottenham hotspur to ajax amsterdam is now official and thus the successor to the new dortmund player sebastien haller is found. the dutch international striker signed with current champions ajax until the summer of 2027 and costs a base transfer fee of €31.25 million. S. Bergwijn already played in the youth for ajax amsterdam, then for psv eindhoven

You can't blame Ronaldo in the situation that Manchester United experienced last season for failing to get a ticket to the Champions League. ronaldo has tried hard with his big contribution in scoring goals. It's just that Manchester United experienced a fairly large transition period last season with a change of coach and also some big problems hit them.

So with this situation Ronaldo will definitely choose to leave this summer in order to be able to play in the highest competition league UCL together with other clubs.

I agree that Ronaldo is not the problem and can't be blame for what happened to Manchester United, for a player who played for #6 team he is on the top 3 scorers so I believe he did his best. But I also think that signing Ronaldo is not a wise choice for Chelsea, he is aged and too expensive for Chelsea, Ronaldo should be their last option.

I'm having a feeling the reason why Chelsea is going for Ronaldo is because he can play as top 9, and he has a lots of experience as regarding the champions league, but I don't think that moving to Chelsea would be a good option for him, I won't be surprised had it been that Arsenal had qualified for this season champions league he might decide to join Arsenal, he's so desperate about playing in the champions league, maybe just to up his champions league goals record, he shouldn't dent his image by moving to Chelsea, not a good move for him, bayern is still preferable

[cryptofrka]

De Ligt has rejected a move to Chelsea - it seems like he wants only Bayern. Salihamidžić has good connections wit the Juve board and all parties are confident that a deal can be reached.

I think that De Ligt is a fantastic player - and Bayern really needs a quality CB. Their only options there are Upamecano and Hernandez.
