Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the biggest talking points of the summer. The Portuguese striker wants a change of scenery and has offered himself to several clubs in recent weeks.

Manchester United were initially very reluctant to let him leave, but are now giving in. The situation is untenable and the saga of the number 7 will last until the last minute of the market. 

According to Football.London, the former Real Madrid player is waiting for Chelsea.

The Blues’ poor results to start the season – seven points from five games – are keeping Cristiano’s hopes of playing at Stamford Bridge alive. His agent Jorge Mendes is in contact with the Londoners, who in the last few hours have shown their willingness to invest heavily in players such as Wesley Fofana, Josko Gvardiol and Frenkie de jong.


If Cristiano Ronaldo ends up signing for Chelsea, the English side will no longer be interested in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. 

The Gabonese was Thomas Tuchel’s first choice, but the blues have still not reached an agreement with Barça. 

The sale of Aubameyang is essential for Barça in economic terms: if he finally stays, Mateu Alemany will hardly be able to make any more signings.

Decisive hours for the outcome of both the Cristiano and the Aubameyang storyline.The Gabonese is still most likely to become the offensive threat at Stamford Bridge, but the English management are exploring all possible options.

Kylian Mbappe named new France captain as he replaces retired Hugo Lloris

Kylian Mbappe of Paris St-Germain has been named the new captain of the France national team.

He takes over for Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who announced his retirement from international football in January.

On Tuesday, the French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed Deschamps’ selection of Mbappe as captain and Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann as vice-captain via social media.

“Kylian meets all the requirements to have this responsibility,” France manager Didier Deschamps told French TV channel TF1 in an interview to be aired on Sunday.

“On the field as in the life of the group, by being a unifying element.”

On Tuesday, the French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed Deschamps’ selection of Mbappe as captain and Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann as vice-captain via social media.

Mbappe was the top scorer at last year’s World Cup, helping France to a second consecutive World Cup final, which they lost to Argentina.

He scored two goals against Croatia in the 2018 final and was named the tournament’s best young player as France won the World Cup for the second time.

Deschamps’ team faces the Netherlands in their first Euro 2024 qualifier at the Stade de France on Friday, before facing the Republic of Ireland on Monday.

Joseph Amoako has returned to Asante Kotoko following his release from prison in Sweden

After being released from prison in Sweden earlier this month, Asante Kotoko winger Joseph Amoako has returned to the club.

Amoako, who was on loan at relegated Swedish Allsvenskan club Helsingborgs IF for the season, was reportedly found guilty of statutory rape of a minor in Sweden and sentenced to two years in prison.

After being charged with having sexual relations with a minor, the 20-year-old was detained in Swedish Police custody in November 2022 for a court trial.

Due to the rape allegations, Helsingborgs IF cancelled his loan deal before the contract with his parent club, Asante Kotoko, expired in January 2023.

The Helsingborgs District Court initially found the talented young winger guilty on two counts and sentenced him to 24 months in prison, but the charges were dropped after an appeal.

Amoako, who arrived in Ghana last week, paid a visit to his teammates on Wednesday morning at the Adako Jachie Training Complex in Kumasi.

After Kingsley Sarfo and Kwame Bonsu, he was the third Ghanaian footballer to be wrongfully imprisoned in Sweden on rape charges.

Amoako struggled for playing time at Helsingborgs IF, where he appeared in only ten (10) games — 295 minutes — across all competitions.

Asante Kotoko did not register him for this season, so he is ineligible to play for the Porcupine Warriors in the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.
