It’s expected to be a massive summer of transfer activity in the Football Transfer Tavern with high profile managerial departures and big money signings in the offing as the season comes to a close.
One of the biggest stories of the summer is set to be the emotional return of former Chelsea
manager Jose Mourinho to Stamford Bridge and today’s Mail Online suggests that things could be made even more interesting with the Madrid boss wanting to bring Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo with him from Spain.
The forward signed for Real in a £80 million deal in 2009, who was dismissed last night in their Copa del Rey final defeat to cross-city rivals Atletico, but is now thought to be on a summer wishlist list put together by the Special One.
Yesterday the Football Transfer Tavern was full of speculation after interim manager Rafael Benitez told reporters that the club will have £100 million to spend in the summer and today’s report indicates that they are planning to spend it on one of the world’s best players.
The retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford has clouded a possible Ronaldo return but United are still desperate to make a statement of intent under new gaffer David Moyes with a signing of Ronaldo’s calibre.
