"Karim Benzema's move to Al-Hilal has cast fresh doubt on the future of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. The 40-year-old was missing from Monday's 1-0 Saudi Pro League win at Al-Riyadh, the day Benzema's move from Al-Ittihad to Al-Hilal was confirmed. Ronaldo is reportedly dissatisfied with how Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which also has a stake in Newcastle, is controlling the affairs of both Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, unhappy that a rival club have signed his former Real Madrid teammate."
"Sounds plausible? Dwight McNeil was all set to sign for Crystal Palace from Everton before Jean-Philippe Mateta's switch to Milan fell through. The Eagles lodged a very late 20m bid for the former Burnley schemer, but reportedly moved the goalposts after failing to offload Mateta, preferring a loan deal with an option to buy instead. The agent Giuseppe Riso has scotched reports that his client, the Italy international Sandro Tonali, was offered to Arsenal before the transfer window slammed shut."
"Tottenham failed to get a deal for the Monaco forward Maghnes Akliouche over the line but may revisit the deal in the summer. Will that do anything to placate Spurs' furious club captain Cristian Romero, who condemned the disgraceful lack of transfer activity at the north London club in a social media post on deadline-night? It seems unlikely. Tyrell Malacia, Manchester United's left-back, is supposedly angry with the club's director of football Jason Wilcox for putting the kibosh on a move to Besiktas."
Karim Benzema completed a transfer from Al-Ittihad to Al-Hilal, coinciding with Cristiano Ronaldo's absence from Al-Nassr's 1-0 win at Al-Riyadh and raising questions about Ronaldo's future. Ronaldo is reportedly unhappy with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund's influence over both Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr and upset that a rival club signed his former Real Madrid teammate. Dwight McNeil nearly joined Crystal Palace after Everton but Palace altered terms following Jean-Philippe Mateta's failed move to Milan. Agent Giuseppe Riso denied that Sandro Tonali was offered to Arsenal. Tottenham missed out on Maghnes Akliouche, Cristian Romero expressed frustration over transfer inactivity, and Tyrell Malacia had a proposed Besiktas move blocked by Manchester United.
