Inter Miami
Benjamin Cremaschi is set to sign a new deal with Inter Miami. An agreement is now in place on a three-year deal with options for two more seasons.
Cremaschi, born in 2005 and highly rated by the club – he’s part of Inter Miami’s project.
Inter Milan
Inter CEO Beppe Marotta: “I’m optimistic to get Milan Skriniar’s contract renewal done and sealed, we are confident.”
Inter have offered him new long term deal plus captain’s armband.
Liverpool
Liverpool saw off competition from Barcelona, Tottenham and West Ham when they signed Luis Diaz. Barca president Joan Laporta has spoken about it publicly now, with money the issue at the time, and Jurgen Klopp making the difference for Liverpool.
Manchester City
Cristiano Ronaldo tells Piers Morgan: “I was close to joining Manchester City in 2021. I was surprised — as they tried hard to sign me. But my heart, my history with Man United, Sir Alex Ferguson made the difference. The heart was speaking loud in that moment.”
Manchester United
Amid all the Cristiano Ronaldo talk, I’ve mentioned that Manchester United will be in the market for a striker if he ends up leaving. Of course fans want to know who will be the club’s targets, but it’s too early to say while the Ronaldo situation is still not resolved.
I still think, as I said earlier this week, that it looks like it is over for Ronaldo at Old Trafford, but we will have to see what the solution is in January. For now, United’s focus is on resolving this story and deciding their best response, but the feeling inside the club is that he won’t play for them again.
It is not easy to get the best signings done in January, but we’ll see what happens after the World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo: “Manchester Utd made zero progress. Real Madrid and Juventus followed recent technologies, infrastructures. They always tried to progress even in terms of training, nutrition & how to recover from games. Man United is behind clubs like those.”

Real Madrid
Endrick’s father Douglas reveals that they will visit Real Madrid facilities: “We’ll travel to Madrid at the end of this month. After that conversation, Real Madrid will await a response from us to see if they should come and make a bid to Palmeiras.”
Udinese
Despite what you might be hearing elsewhere, there are currently no talks between Arsenal or Tottenham and Udinese for Rodrigo Becao. What I can tell you is that he was an option for Everton last summer, but it’s gone quiet now – there are no talks ongoing with Udinese.
