Atletico Madrid Enter Race for Napoli Star Arkadiusz Milik

FBL-ITA-CUP-NAPOLI-JUVENTUS-HEALTH-VIRUS

Atletico Madrid have entered the race to sign Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik, and the Spanish giants have even made contact with the Polish star's representatives over a possible summer swoop.


Milik's current contract in Naples expires in June 2021, and with no renewal seemingly on the horizon, the pressure is on I Partenopei to cash in on the 26-year-old before he walks away for nothing.

And with this deadline in mind, the Italian side are willing to listen to offers for Milik this summer - but only at the right price. Serie A champions Juventus have long been linked with a move for the forward, but according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Atleti have now joined the queue to land the Napoli star.


Los Colchoneros are looking to rejuvenate their front line for next season, and Diego Simeone has put his faith in Milik to end their goalscoring troubles. It is believed that Atleti officials have been in contact with the striker's entourage, hoping to find an agreement over wages and the finer contract details.


However, Milik's current deal contains no release clause, so Napoli will be able to negotiate a higher price for their Polish star, and they are not interested in any swap deals. The former Bayer Leverkusen man arrived in Naples in 2016, but he remained a peripheral figure at the club until 2018, before bagging 17 goals in 35 league appearances.

He has continued his impressive form through to the current campaign, notching 10 goals in Serie A, and three in the Champions League. But despite impressing over the past two years, it appears that the player and club are willing to part ways, with Napoli looking to overhaul their current crop of stars.


And Milik will always find himself playing second fiddle to club legend Dries Mertens, who recently signed a contract extension with I Partenopei for the next two years.

Ronaldo tells Man Utd he wants transfer - and a bidder may already be lined up

Cristiano Ronaldo   has asked to leave   Manchester United.

Sources also believe agent Jorge Mendes may already have a buyer lined up. Why does Ronaldo want to go? Ronaldo is determined to carry on playing in the Champions League as he nears the end of his career, and nd United’s failure to secure a top four finish last season has convinced him he needs to find a club where he can compete for top honours again. The 37-year-old has requested United allow him to leave provided they receive an acceptable offer this summer. United cannot afford to lose Ronaldo without a top class replacement. Top strike target was Nunez - and they didn’t fancy that sort of money, given other transfer requirements. Lack of and cost alternatives is a massive problem this window  #mufc — James Robson (@jamesalanro...

Ballon d'Or will not be awarded in 2020

Image
There will be no Ballon d'Or awarded in 2020 due to a "lack of sufficient fair conditions", France Football has announced. The French publication, which organises football's most prestigious individual prize, believes the effects of the coronavirus pandemic upon the sport at the elite level means it would be unfair to declare a 2020 winner. In a list of reasons published to explain the decision, France Football said it "did not want to put an indelible asterisk" on the trophy due to present circumstances, adding "we will always prefer a small sprain (to our history) to a large scar". It will be the first time since the Ballon d'Or launched in 1956 that its ballot to decide the finest player in the world will not be taken. Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi claimed the top prize for a record sixth time in 2019, with United States forward Megan Rapinoe lifting the Ballon d'Or Feminin. Football across the world shut down in March as COVID-19 spr...
