Former Greek footballer Georgios Karagounis has expressed his desire to see Cristiano Ronaldo play for Panathinaikos once his time at Al-Nassr comes to an end. Ronaldo, whose contract with the Saudi club is set to expire at the end of the season, has yet to agree to a renewal.

In a chat with Spin Genie, Karagounis shared his thoughts. He said, while he isn’t sure Ronaldo would ever play for Wrexham, he would love to see him in Greece with Panathinaikos. He described the club as a big name in Greek football.  And he pointed out that Ronaldo has already worn green before with Sporting CP, so a move to Panathinaikos wouldn’t be far-fetched.

Karagounis believes Ronaldo’s fame would match well with the stature of Panathinaikos, and though the future remains uncertain, he’s hopeful the football legend could one day turn out for the Greek side.

Now 40, Ronaldo is nearing the end of a decorated career that has seen him represent clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Sporting CP. Whether he ends up in Greece or somewhere else remains to be seen.

Ashleigh Plumptre has made it clear that the Super Falcons are ready for a tough fight against Zambia’s Copper Queens in the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash set for Friday in Casablanca.

Zambia head into the match as one of the tournament’s top-scoring teams, having netted six goals so far. Their forwards, Barbara Banda and Racheal Kundananji, have been standout performers, using their speed and strength to trouble defenses throughout the competition.

Despite the challenge ahead, Plumptre isn’t fazed. Speaking at a press conference, the Nigerian defender acknowledged the strength of Zambia’s attack but stressed that the Super Falcons are prepared to face the team as a whole, not just two players.

“We respect Zambia’s attacking quality, and we know they’ve got dangerous players,” she said. “But our game plan isn’t about shutting down individuals—it’s about being ready for everything they bring as a team.” Plumptre, who plays her club football with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, emphasized that the Falcons have studied their opponents well and are focused on reaching the semifinals.

Atalanta have rejected Inter Milan’s initial €40 million offer for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano shared that Atalanta are standing firm on their €50 million valuation. Despite Lookman expressing his desire to leave the club this summer, the Serie A side isn’t willing to let him go for anything less.

Inter reportedly reached out to present their opening bid, but Atalanta have made it clear they won’t give the green light at that price, especially to a domestic rival. Lookman played a key role in Atalanta’s Europa League triumph last season, scoring a memorable hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen. Now hoping for a move, the ball is in Inter’s court to return with an improved offer if they truly want the talented winger.
