In the show, Mourinho was asked about his relationship with Casillas, who he had originally labelled as the 'captain and best player' upon his arrival.
As Ronaldo heads towards 1,000 career goals, the league plans to lift the standard of Saudi Arabian football, not just the clubsThere is no Mohamed Salah in the new Saudi Pro League season that kicks off on Thursday and while the era of the ageing megastar is ending, there is still the strong chance that the next few months will be dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo. The 41-year-old is 24 shy of 1,000 career goals and, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner having scored 102 in 107 league games for Al-Nassr so far, the milestone could – should – be reached this season.Huge as that will be, just how it fits into the plans of the league is unclear. This is the fourth season since the spending started with $957m (£710m) splashed out in that summer of 2023. It delivered thousands of articles, dozens of international broadcasting deals and untold numbers of people worldwide sporting the yellow CR7 Al-Nassr shirt. Now, though, the focus is on getting a little more value for money and lifting not just the clubs but the standard of Saudi Arabian football in general. Continue reading...
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand (Picture: YouTube) Rio Ferdinand says Manchester City would have pipped Arsenal to the Premier League title last season had Rodri been available for the entire campaign. Arsenal clinched their first Premier League title since 2004 back in May, finishing seven points clear of Man City in Pep Guardiola’s last season at the club. Ballon d’Or winner Rodri missed 17 Premier League games last term due to injury issues and Ferdinand believes his availability would have changed the course of the title race. Rodri now looks set to end his long and successful spell at the Etihad Stadium, with Barcelona closing in on a stunning deal for the World Cup winner.

Ferdinand says Rodri’s imminent departure will present ‘huge challenges’ to a Manchester City team already having to cope with the exit of legendary manager Guardiola. Enzo Maresca, the former Chelsea boss, has been given the possibly tricky task of replacing Guardiola, who won six Premier League titles, the Champions League and eight domestic cups at Man City. Speaking on his podcast, Manchester United legend Ferdinand said: ‘Can we just talk about Manchester City please? Man City legend Rodri is set to join Barcelona (Picture: Getty) ‘Not only have they lost Pep Guardiola, it now looks like they’re losing Rodri. That’s two of the most important people at the football club in the last seven or eight years. ‘So after a big change in manager they’re losing the biggest, most important player in their team. ‘If Rodri started and played every game last season and didn’t have that injury, Man City win the Premier League. No disrespect to Arsenal but if Rodri played ten more games, Man City would have won the league. Arsenal pipped Man City to the Premier League title (Picture: Getty) ‘That’s no coincidence. This guy went into the Spain team and was their most important player, wins the best player of the tournament and helps them win the World Cup. He’s won the Ballon d’Or too, he’s won everything. ‘If Barcelona get him they are a certified problem this year because Rodri is the most important footballer for any team on the planet right now and has been for the last few years. He’s a top player and a top pro. ‘I think Man City have a huge challenge this year in competing in the way they have in the last eight or nine years. Former Man City boss Pep Guardiola (Picture: Getty) ‘They’ve lost two huge components of the football club, not only on the pitch but off it as well. They were both huge contributors so let’s watch this space.’ Arsenal hero Anders Limpar has also suggested Manchester City could be set for a difficult season if they sell influential midfielder Rodri. ‘If Manchester City sell Rodri they are shooting themselves in the foot because he cannot be replaced,’ Limpar told SveaCasino. ‘We said the same about David Silva but they did replace him and brought in a couple of good players, like Bernardo Silva, but it’s even harder to replace Rodri now. ‘He’s a Ballon d’Or winner because of how good he is in his role. Who are you going to replace him with? ‘City have to be very, very careful here or they can become a mediocre team that struggles to finish sixth or seventh even with Erling Haaland because Rodri is the machine. He’s the engine in that midfield. ‘It would be the best signing of the summer for Arsenal if Rodri goes to Barcelona or Real Madrid.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

While announcing his marriage with Georgina Rodriguez, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly set to miss the first two games of the 2026-27 season for Al Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo is celebrating one of the happiest personal milestones of his life after officially confirming his marriage to long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez. However, the wedding celebration will temporarily impact Al Nassr, as the Portuguese legend is reportedly expected to miss the club’s first two official matches of the campaign. On Tuesday, August 12, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez publicly confirmed their marriage following an extended summer vacation following the conclusion of Portugal’s 2026 World Cup run. Taking to social media, the couple published a joint post showcasing matching gold bands with a brief caption that read, “I do.“ According to People, the civil ceremony embraced an intimate setting rather than a lavish public spectacle. Reports indicate the wedding took place in Cascais, an upscale coastal town west of Lisbon, Portugal, with attendance limited exclusively to the couple’s five children: Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., Eva Maria, Mateo, Alana Martina, and Bella Esmeralda. The marriage took place exactly one year after Ronaldo proposed to the model on August 11, 2025. “Yes, I do. In this life and in all my lives,” Rodriguez wrote at the time while displaying her oval-cut diamond engagement ring, valued at roughly €6 million (around $7.8 million USD), which also appeared in the background of their official wedding announcement. Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez announce their marriage. (@cristiano/Instagram) Ronaldo set to miss first two Al Nassr fixtures Following Portugal’s World Cup elimination on July 6, Ronaldo did not join his Al Nassr teammates for their preseason preparations. While Al Nassr completed their overseas training camp in Portugal before returning to Riyadh, the club captain did not attend a single session, with the competitive season commencing in less than a week. According to a report from Al Riyadhiah, team sources confirmed that Ronaldo will sit out Al Nassr’s first two competitive fixtures of the 2026-27 campaign across two separate competitions. Having been granted an extended leave of absence following international duty at the 2026 World Cup, Ronaldo was absent from the club’s summer training program. The forward utilized the additional rest period to complete his marriage to Rodriguez in Portugal before traveling to Saudi Arabia to resume club activities. Lacking full match fitness for the opening fixtures, Ronaldo will first miss Al Nassr’s Saudi Pro League opener against Al Fateh on Saturday, August 15, as the club begin their title defense. Al Nassr will then play their second fixture on Tuesday, August 18, facing Al Diriyah in the Round of 32 of the King’s Cup. Based on those reports, Ronaldo is targeted to make his seasonal debut on Matchday 2 of the Saudi Pro League against Al Riyadh on Friday, August 21. Until his return, new head coach Ange Postecoglou will need to adjust his attacking options to fill the central No. 9 role.
It's that time of the year again - the transfer window is now open until September 1 and it's sure to be a busy period with clubs looking to make big signings ahead of next season.
