Football rumours from the media

*Cristiano Ronaldo* would be more likely to return to Manchester United than Real Madrid should he leave Juventus at the end of the season, Tuttosport reports. The Italian website says while Real manager Zinedine Zidane said “maybe” when asked if the 36-year-old could be returning to Madrid, club president Florentino Perez is more interested in Paris St Germain star Kylian Mbappe. With financial clout and Champions League credentials heavily influential in any Ronaldo move, this would leave United as the most logical option, Tuttosport says, though staying put at Juve remains Ronaldo’s most likely path.
