Transfer Zone: Angel Di Maria seems relieved PSG chose Messi over Ronaldo
"Cristiano would certainly like to be here, but they signed Messi and luckily, it's better this way."
Cristiano Ronaldo
The Argentinian winger is delighted to have fellow native Lionel Messi at the club but thinks Ronaldo would be 'dying to be here.'
"It doesn't happen often in clubs and the greats always want to be with the best. Cristiano would certainly like to be here, but they signed Messi and luckily, it's better this way." A dig or mistranslation?
This can't be true🤣

Is this true? I know he prefers Messi but is this a bad translation maybe? pic.twitter.com/dEZzsInvwM

He didn't mean to rude, but that's the truth

James Rodriguez
James is currently out with Covid-19 but once he recovers you can expect him to get a one-way ticket out of Goodison.
It appears the Toffees' fans aren't impressed with Rafael Benitez.
Yeah ostracise James Rodriguez because why would you want that type of flair and creativity in your team Mr Benitez? As bad as I thought it would be #Everton

Tell me that @jamesdrodriguez doesn’t instantly improve this #Everton team.

Raphael Varane
The Frenchman was unveiled just before the Red Devils thrashed rivals Leeds United 5-1.
I am in love with @raphaelvarane already. He is perfect. Thank you @ManUtd pic.twitter.com/WDO4MGnQmA

Jesse Lingard
Gary Neville has told Jesse Lingard to leave Man United and it is believed West Ham are looking to resign the midfielder.
Should they sign him, they have a young 28-year-old prospect on their hands...
I so want to see him back at the club laughing and joking with Declan. It's infectious! 😆

Go get our guy @JesseLingard

Kylian Mbappe
Paris Saint-Germain are anticipating a bid from Real Madrid for forward Kylian Mbappe.
They are believed to be prepared to bid £100million - the same price Manchester City paid to sign Jack Grealish. Dream on.

Thomas Henry
Thomas Henry wants to join Celtic, says his agent. Gent already have an offer accepted from Leuven meaning the Glasgow giants may miss out on capturing his signature.
Thats us missed out on thomas henry as hes set to sign for gent for £4.5m....

Same old celtic always missing....
Not going to happen
This makes no sense. The PL is in England & RMD in Spain. The issue of Brexit will come into play & not to mention the desire of ESL by FloPer when PL clubs fear backlash from fans. Same with Bundesliga, Seria A might be an option - but for now, this is BS.
