The 10 best transfer news of the day. Departure of Buffon and a new superstar in Ronaldo’s team
RB Leipzig loan André Silva
The 27-year-old Portuguese forward continues touring Europe. Four goals last season in the Bundesliga failed to impress the Leipzig leadership, so Silva will spend next season at Real Sociedad. In addition, the Spanish club has a termination option.

Yoshko Guardiol will leave for Manchester City
A lot of Guardiola – Guardiol to be! Fabrizio Romano writes that City have finally agreed on the transfer of the 21-year-old Croatian defender and will pay RB Leipzig a record 90 million euros for this role. All the papers will be signed by the end of the week, and the medical will take place on Friday August 4.
New Holland announces his signing for Manchester United
It remains to wait for the announcement of the club. It is already known that Rasmus Høylund will move to Manchester United from Atalanta for more than 70 million euros, and now the 20-year-old Danish striker left a cheeky hint on social media, posting a photo in the kit of the future team and adding the title “Soon”.

“Spartak” buys the defender of “Olympiakos”
At least according to the Greek radio station Sport-FM. Moldovan defender Oleg Ryabchuk is alleged to continue his career at the Moscow club, and the deal will be announced in the very near future. The rojiblancos’ offer for the 25-year-old footballer suited Olympiakos well, and the search for a replacement for him has already begun.
Spartak and Ryabchuk have a whole saga:
Spartak wants a defender from Moldova again. Will the scandal around the deal not interfere with the transfer?
Xavi confirms the departure of Ousmane Dembélé from Barcelona
Insider information is one thing and the head coach’s comment is quite another! The 26-year-old French winger, as is already known, will go home and play for PSG. The amount of the transfer will be 50 million euros.

“Dembélé was direct and asked to be released. He has an offer from PSG. We cannot compete with them. I a m a little disappointed”.
Gianluigi Buffon retired
Now this is no longer inside information, but a reality. The legendary 45-year-old goalkeeper has retired from professional football. There’s no point listing Gigi’s achievements, he already knows them. Farewell to the greats!
We have a lot to say about Buffon’s departure:
Zenit wanted to return Serdar Azmun, but there is a problem
Powerful news came from Fabrizio Romano. He assures that the Russian champions decided to organize a comeback for the 28-year-old Iranian striker and contacted Bayer, in which he never resolved his adaptation problems.
The German Kicker adds that the Bayer bosses are not against the transfer, and Azmun would like a change of scenery. But first, the club will have to explore the possibility of such an agreement. The fact is that German companies are prohibited from trading with Russia, and this also applies to football.
“Al-Hilal” could not declare Malcolm due to problems with the transfer of money to “Zenith”
The problem came from where they did not expect. Winwin writes that the Saudi club were unable to register the 26-year-old Brazilian with a Russian passport as they are having trouble transferring funds for a transfer to St Petersburg. At the same time, there are no forecasts regarding the solution of this problem. Malcom, if anything, left Zenit for 60 million euros and got a contract with a salary of 18 million euros per season.
Lucas Moura returned to his native club
The European phase of a brilliant but unstable winger’s career has apparently come to an end. After playing for PSG and Tottenham, Moura found himself on a free transfer this summer and promptly returned to his homeland of Brazil. Now, the 30-year-old will play for Sao Paulo, where he began his career. The parties signed a short-term contract until the end of the year.

Willian can still go to Saudi Arabia
The 34-year-old Brazilian midfielder’s saga appeared to be over when he re-signed with Fulham last season after being away from the club for a while. But all is not so simple! Fabrizio Romano reports that Al-Shabaab is showing interest in Willian. The Saudis have already made the player an offer and are actively negotiating. Willian, in turn, communicates on this issue with the Fulham board.
