The Top 10 Most Expensive Transfers Over 30: Lewandowski and Koulibaly Join Golden-Oldies
After the confirmed transfers of Robert Lewandowski and Kalidou Koulibaly this week, we have been busy racking our brains to put together a comprehensive list of the most expensive football transfers involving players 30 or over. 10. Leonardo Bonucci: £31.5m (AC Milan to Juventus) This is not the only time Juventus’ veteran defender Leonardo Bonucci will feature on this list. Aged 30, the Italian international made the switch from Turin to Milan only to return a year later for £31.5m. Just 377 days had passed in a disastrous career move that has gone down as one of the worst transfers of all time. More on that further down the list… =10. Jasper Cillissen: £31.5m (Barcelona to Valencia) For all their ridiculous spending habits and inflated transfer fees, Barcelona managed to pull ...
Arsenal Turn Attention to Man City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko After Missing Out on Lisandro Martinez
Arsenal are expected to make a formal approach for Manchester City full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko in the coming weeks in the hope of making him their fifth signing of this window. Manchester City are willing to let the Ukrainian international leave this summer should a suitable bid be tabled, and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has identified the 25-year-old as one his key summer targets. The Gunners look set to miss out on Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez with Manchester United entering the final stages of a deal for the Argentine, and now will instead turn their attention to the Ukrainian captain. While Arsenal are seemingly in the market for a more suitable back up to starting left-back Kieran Tierney after a nervy debut season for youngster Nuno Tavares, Zinchenko’s versatili...
Cristiano Ronaldo Could Earn £14,200 Per Hour if he Accepts £210m Offer From Saudi Club
Manchester United’s want-away forward Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly the subject of an incoming bid from Saudi Arabia, with an unnamed club prepared to pay him £210million over the course of two years. The 37-year-old, who hasn’t travelled with the squad for their tour of Thailand and Australia citing ‘family issues’ as the reason, is said to be eager to exit the club in search of further titles as he enters the twilight of his career. In step a club from Saudi Arabia, who despite not being able to offer the legendary marksman the opportunity to expand his trophy cabinet, are offering a stupendous two-year contract worth £105million-per-year. To put that into context, it equates to £14,200 an hour, £341,000 per day, £2.4m every week and a whopping £10.4m per ...
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi Proposal: Striker Could Afford Average UK House Within 20 Hours

This is roughly five times more than he currently earns. While Ronaldo’s desire is to leave Manchester United in search of a club with stronger title ambitions and a place in his beloved Champions League, th...

WATCH: Man United Fans Make Hilarious Highlight Reel Of Darwin Nunez’s Dismal Liverpool Debut
Liverpool’s marquee summer signing Darwin Nunez made a somewhat disappointing debut appearance in a pre-season friendly with Manchester United on Tuesday. The Uruguayan, who recently made the switch from Benfica for a club-record £85million free, cut a frustrated figure as his side were dismantled by Manchester United. In Erik Ten Hag’s first game in charge of the Red Devils, forgotten figures in Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial looked rejuvenated as they carved through a helpless Liverpool defence. In contrast, Jurgen Klopp’s new danger man came on with half an hour to play, and although pre-season is no real test of a player’s calibre, a highlight reel put together by one smug United fan highlights a disappointing showing. See the reel below. Darwin Nunez the 100 ...

Why Chelsea’s Mass Exodus On and Off the Pitch Signals a Major Transitional Period
Chelsea have so far been incredibly busy throughout the summer window, and not in the typical frenzy of consumerism that defined Roman Abramovich’s reign as owner. There is a distinct period of transition taking place at Stamford Bridge this summer as the club adjusts to having new ownership for the first time in nearly two decades. The Blues have been quietly undergoing an unprecedented upheaval in what could be the biggest shake-up amongst any of the ‘top six’. Behind the shadow of Erik Ten Hag’s arrival at Manchester United and an influx of acquisitions at Manchester City and Tottenham, Chelsea’s make-up has endured a seismic shift. New owner Todd Boehly has shown an aggressive approach to club ownership since taking over in a monumental £2.5billion purchase, and key...
