Transfer Rumours: Ronaldo on Galatasaray radar; Arsenal and Atletico Madrid target Ferran Jutgla

The
Portuguese
star
has
fallen
from
the
pecking
order
of
United
boss
Erik
ten
Hag
and
as
per
a
report
in
Turkish
outlet
Fotomac,
Ronaldo
could
possibly
make
a
switch
to
the
Turkish
giants
in
January.

He
was
also
was
left
on
the
bench
for
the
6-3
derby
hammering
at
Manchester
City,
leading
to
renewed
questions
about
his
future
at
Old
Trafford..

The
summer
transfer
window
was
dominated
by
speculation
over
the
37-year-old’s
future
after
the
club’s
disappointing
campaign
in
2021-22.

Ronaldo
had
reportedly
received
a
lucrative
offer
from
Saudi
Arabia,
but
no
Champions
League
giants
made
their
move
for
the
Portugal
attacker,
who
missed
United’s
pre-season
tour
of
Thailand
and
Australia
due
to
a
family
issue.

The
other
big
transfer
rumour
doing
the
rounds
is
that
of
Ferran
Jutgla,
who
has
reportedly
captured
the
imagination
of
some
of
Europe’s
top
clubs
after
impressive
UEFA
Champions
League
showings
for
Club
Brugge.

Jutgla
has
put
himself
on
the
radar
of
some
Europe’s
richest
clubs
after
a
terrific
start
to
the
Champions
League,
with
Arsenal
and
Atletico
Madrid
said
to
be
keen.

The
23-year-old
appeared
to
be
on
an
upward
trajectory
after
leaving
Espanyol
last
year
to
join
Barcelona,
but
despite
working
his
way
up
from
the
B
team
and
scoring
on
his
first-team
starting
debut
against
Elche
in
December,
he
was
shipped
off
to
Brugge
after
one
season
for
a
modest
€5million.

It
is
looking
like
a
shrewd
investment
from
the
Belgian
side,
with
the
Spanish
forward
contributing
six
goals
and
three
assists
in
his
first
10
league
games,
but
it
is
in
the
UEFA
Champions
League
where
Jutgla
has
really
made
his
mark.

Europa
League:
Arsenal
on
to
top
of
Group
A
after
easy
win
over
Bodo/Glimt

Brugge
have
been
arguably
the
most
surprising
team
from
the
first
three
match-days
in
the
Champions
League,
collecting
three
wins
and
three
clean
sheets
as
they
defeated
Bayer
Leverkusen
1-0,
FC
Porto
4-0
and
Atletico
2-0
to
sit
atop
Group
B.

Jutgla
collected
a
goal
and
an
assist
in
both
the
Porto
and
Atletico
games,
and
according
to

Media
Foot,
the
latter
liked
what
they
saw.

The
report
also
mentions
Arsenal
as
a
team
with
keen
interest,
and
claims
they
will
keep
a
close
eye
on
his
progress
with
the
aim
of
making
an
offer
at
the
end
of
the
season.
