Jadon Sancho is attracting serious interest from two top Italian clubs as he weighs his next move away from Manchester United this summer.

Juventus have reportedly opened talks with United in recent hours over a potential deal for the England international. Napoli are also keen and have made direct contact with Sancho’s representatives to explore the possibility of bringing him to Naples.

The winger spent last season on loan at Chelsea, but the London side chose not to make the move permanent. Sancho has since returned to Old Trafford, but with new manager Ruben Amorim yet to finalize his squad for next season, the winger’s future remains uncertain. A final decision on his next club is expected soon.

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly turned down an offer from River Plate head coach Marcelo Gallardo to join the Argentine side for the upcoming 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Gallardo revealed that he personally reached out to Ronaldo through a mutual friend to explore the possibility of having the Portuguese star feature for River Plate in the tournament.

The two have a bit of history—Gallardo previously managed Ronaldo during a 2023 friendly in Saudi Arabia when he coached a Riyadh All-Stars team in a match against Paris Saint-Germain. Speaking ahead of River Plate’s clash with Monterrey, Gallardo told ESPN that their conversation earlier this year was casual but meaningful.

“In March, we spoke informally,” he said. “I asked if he would be interested in playing the Club World Cup. A player like him, who defined an era—it made sense to ask.” Gallardo added that Ronaldo appreciated the gesture and gave it serious thought but ultimately turned it down. The reason? He wanted to focus fully on getting ready for the new season with Al-Nassr.

Despite the rejection, Gallardo praised Ronaldo’s professionalism and character, saying they’ve kept a respectful relationship since their brief time working together. While fans won’t get to see Ronaldo in a River Plate shirt, the story shows the kind of admiration he still commands globally—even from clubs outside Europe.

Ola Aina is close to signing a new long-term deal with Nottingham Forest. The club has already activated the one-year extension in his current contract, keeping him at the City Ground until the end of the 2025/26 season. However, Forest are pushing to secure his future beyond that and are working on a new extended deal.

Talks are said to be going smoothly, with both sides confident that an agreement will be reached soon. Aina, who joined Forest in 2023 after leaving Italian side Torino, has become a key figure under manager Nuno Espirito Santo. The 28-year-old made 35 league appearances last season, scoring two goals and providing one assist, impressing with his consistency and versatility.
