The summer transfer window is closed for the major leagues in Europe. However, with an eye on January, there’s plenty of gossip swirling about who’s moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Saudi club Al Hilal see chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo could be set to receive his first offer since being released by Manchester United, with Al Hilal preparing to make a move for the 37-year-old forward, according to Sky Sports.
The Saudi Professional League side previously made a proposal for his signature during the summer transfer market, but the Red Devils turned down their approach, while it is also understood that he wasn’t interested in making the switch there.
Now a free agent, clubs can make contract offers for his services without the need to agree a transfer fee — but while that will make it easier for some sides to enter negotiations, reports have suggested that Ronaldo would prefer a move to a side who can offer him Champions League football.

Chelsea, Real Madrid and Newcastle have all made it clear that they are not interested in Ronaldo, however.
It is reported that Al Hilal will look to move on striker Odion Ighalo in January if they are able to acquire Ronaldo, who became the first player to score in five men’s World Cups on Thursday after scoring a penalty in Portugal‘s 3-2 win over Ghana.
