Cristiano Ronaldo could have Mohamed Salah as a rival, after reports indicate the forward is close to joining the Saudi Pro League. Mohamed Salah could soon share a league — and a rivalry — with Cristiano Ronaldo. The Egyptian forward, who departed Liverpool as a free agent after nine years at Anfield, remains on course for a move to Al Ittihad, in what would set up direct confrontations with Ronaldo’s Al Nassr for years to come. Al Ittihad have offered Salah an annual salary in the region of $25 million, and the 33-year-old has reportedly accepted those terms in principle, with the move said to be approaching its final stages. However, the deal is not entirely in Salah’s hands. Al Ittihad had initially planned to sell Moussa Diaby this summer to make room for the Egyptian on the right wing, but the club reversed course in late July, confirming they had no intention of letting the Frenchman go. That stance has since been complicated by Diaby himself, who has pushed to leave and is reportedly in direct contact with Inter Milan over a move to Serie A, while Bayer Leverkusen — his former club — are also working to bring him back to the Bundesliga on reduced wages. Until Al Ittihad resolve Diaby’s future, Salah’s arrival remains contingent on a spot opening up in the squad. Moussa Diaby of Al Ittihad. (Getty Images) Should the move go through, Salah would find Ronaldo waiting on the other side of the Saudi Pro League table. Ronaldo, who signed a contract extension with Al-Nassr through 2027, led the club to the Saudi Pro League title last season, and the prospect of Salah joining as a direct rival has added an extra layer of intrigue to a transfer saga that has dragged on for months. Turkey also keeping tabs on Salah Al Ittihad are not the only side being linked with Salah, and Turkey has re-emerged as a talking point in recent days. Trabzonspor were reported to have moved ahead of Besiktas in the race, with some Turkish outlets claiming the two sides were closing in on personal terms for a two-year deal. However, Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan shut that down directly, stating, “there is no such agreement,” and adding that no talks had even been scheduled. Besiktas, for their part, had already tabled an offer worth roughly €10 million net per season plus €2 million in bonuses on a 1+1-year deal, but that proposal has reportedly been shelved as talks with Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia continue to advance.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t SPORT), Cristian Romero appears increasingly likely to join Inter Milan, with the Serie A club now on the verge of completing a deal that would end FC Barcelona�...
According to reports, Tottenham have agreed to sell Cristian Romero to Inter Milan, amid rumors linking him to Barcelona. Cristian Romero‘s time at Tottenham appears to be coming to an end, with reports out of Italy indicating the club has reached an agreement to sell the Argentine defender to Inter Milan for a fee in the region of €40 million. The move comes as little surprise given how his standing at the club had shifted over the past year, going from captain to a player Tottenham now seem ready to move on from. The clearest signal of that shift arrived with Tottenham’s signing of Jan Paul van Hecke for €60 million, a deal that effectively confirmed the club’s plan to replace Romero as their starting right center-back. Despite wearing the armband last season, his relationship with the fanbase had cooled in recent months, further reinforcing the sense that a transfer was only a matter of time once the 2026 World Cup wrapped up.

According to Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari of TV Dello Sport, the Nerazzurri have already agreed terms with Tottenham for the transfer. The only step left before the move becomes official is for Inter to finalize personal terms with Romero’s representatives, something that could be resolved in the coming days. A move to Italy would mark a return to familiar territory for Romero, who has previous experience in Serie A with Juventus and Atalanta, though he only ever featured for the latter across a couple of seasons before making his name in the Premier League. For now, all signs point toward Inter Milan being his next destination once the paperwork is settled. Where does Barcelona fit into Romero’s situation? Despite the growing momentum behind an Inter Milan move, Romero’s name has also continued to circulate around Barcelona, though reports frame that interest as something closer to the player’s personal preference than a genuinely viable path forward. Barcelona are said to be keeping tabs on his situation, but their transfer priorities this summer lie elsewhere, with signing a new striker sitting at the top of their list and Julian Alvarez still viewed as their ideal target. Barca do have Romero on their list, but the club has already made clear it won’t take a concrete step forward unless one of the center-backs or full-backs currently in the squad departs first. That leaves Barcelona on the periphery of Romero’s next move rather than an active competitor for his signature, with Inter Milan remaining the far more concrete option.

Julián Álvarez is closing in on a blockbuster move to Barcelona as deep-rooted friction behind the scenes has prompted the Argentine forward to seek an early exit from Atlético Madrid. Barcelona is on the precipice of securing a marquee transfer for Julián Álvarez, a player the Catalan giants have aggressively pursued for over a year. The Argentine forward has reportedly made the definitive decision to cut his time short at Atlético Madrid after a two-year stint, despite being under a lucrative contract that runs through June 2030. What originally looked like the foundation for a legendary partnership between Álvarez and Los Colchoneros is unraveling at stunning speed. A cocktail of intense transfer speculation and controversial management decisions from the board has permanently fractured a relationship that is now set to dissolve years ahead of schedule. According to prominent Spanish journalist Rubén Uría, Álvarez and his agent, Fernando Hidalgo, held a pivotal meeting in February with Atlético Madrid majority owner Miguel Ángel Gil Marín. During the discussion, club hierarchy explicitly informed the Argentine that if he intended to force a move to Barcelona, they would accept it, though they preferred he stay. However, what deeply alienated the World Cup-winning forward and his inner circle was the immediate leaking of that private conversation to the Spanish media. The strategic leak subjected Álvarez to intense backlash from the Atlético fan base and left him facing uncomfortable, unrelenting questions during every public media appearance.

The Atlético Madrid board had previously pledged a significant salary increase to Álvarez that never materialized. While the club recently attempted to smooth things over by offering an improved contract extension through 2031, Álvarez flatly rejected the proposal. His focus is now entirely fixed on leaving the Metropolitano, with the Camp Nou established as his preferred destination. Who could replace Julián Álvarez? With Álvarez’s departure practically a formality, Atlético Madrid is wasting no time drawing up plans to reshape its frontline. Alexander Sorloth is internally viewed as the immediate replacement, but the Norwegian striker’s own future remains highly volatile. According to reporting from Mundo Deportivo, Sorloth is a top target for a host of European suitors, including Everton, Fenerbahce, Juventus, and AC Milan. If both marquee forwards are sold, the cash windfall would provide Diego Simeone with an enormous war chest to land a truly world-class No. 9. Topping that wishlist is Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martínez, a long-standing dream signing for the Atlético board, as confirmed by Spanish insider Miguel Ángel Méndez of RNE Deportes. While pryingly loosening Martínez away from the reigning Serie A champions will be an incredibly complex operation, an undeniable astronomical offer could unlock negotiations. To supplement the attack, Atlético is also actively monitoring Paris Saint-Germain duo Kang-In Lee and Goncalo Ramos, both of whom have struggled to secure consistent starting roles under Luis Enrique and could be available on favorable terms.
