Rooney: Ronaldo wouldn't join Manchester City

Wayne Rooney says former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't dare join Manchester City this transfer window and dash his Manchester United legacy, though recent reports suggest such a move is possible if not likely.

Rooney, himself a United legend, won three Premier League titles alongside Ronaldo in the decade preceding City's rise to the top of English football. And as someone who knows Ronaldo well, Rooney "can't see" the Juventus forward joining the rival organisation.

Juve eye Everton wantaway Kean

Juventus are interested in signing Moise Kean permanently, claims Fabrizio Romano, and given the striker's apparent unhappiness at Everton that could prove a legitimate transfer possibility.

The Turin club could be in the market for attacking help if Cristiano Ronaldo is sold to Manchester City.

Tottenham ready to sign Barca wonderkid Ilaix (Tuttomercato)

The 18-year-old would represent a massive boost for Spurs' future

Tottenham are leading the chase for one of Barcelona's best prospects, wonderkid Ilaix Moriba, as the Catalan club could be forced to sell him in the next week, according to Tuttomercato.

Ilaix, an 18-year-old midfielder, has seen his contract renewal talks break down this summer. Barcelona reportedly won't let him play for them until he agrees to a fresh deal, and he could instead choose to move elsewhere.

Spurs have historically not been able to attain the very best youngsters in the world once they've already begun to break out, with London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal often beating them to the punch, so this would be seen as a major accomplishment for the club if a deal gets done.
