English Premier League: Ronaldo’s transfer chain reaction – The transaction
Probably the most dramatic time of a footballing season, besides the crucial 90 minutes on the pitch that determines whether you a winner or a loser is the transfer window.
The 2018 World Cup in Russia was a banger but also halted the movement of some players between clubs. However, the cup concluded with France dubbed the best team in the world. Now we get ready for the events of transfers to transpire more frequently.
As countries started getting knocked out and players returned to their individual homes – things really hit an all time high. The biggest move to happen was the surprise move Juventus made on Cristiano Ronaldo. Before you could doubt it and claim it was fake news – Real Madrid and Juventus confirmed it.
In OUR FACES!
The reaction of this transfer
This transfer was embraced with satisfaction by the world. A player not settling for just a trio of the best clubs across Europe – Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, and Real Madrid.
No, he had to make himself a Zebra in his quaternary period. The other big talking point is of how he could be that player to win the Champions League in three countries, if he does it here. And quite frankly he is that player. A disappointing World Cup cannot be followed up by a disappointing club campaign.
The right move was to give Madrid the miss after such a successful period. But what exactly has this got to do with the English Premier League now that Ronaldo has moved to the biggest club in Italy, Juventus?
It means the other players must decide to move on
The Old Lady is blessed with many talented attackers, and some of these attackers will see their starting berth disappear with Ronaldo there. Who will be the players to leave, and what direction will they be heading?
One player being heavily linked with a transfer out of Italy is hitman, Gonzalo Higuain. The striker is also hitting the latter stages in his career and a move makes sense. The team he’s been named with has seen a funny and difficult preseason – regarding backroom problems.

Chelsea are the front-runners according to reports, as they suggesting a move could be finalised in less than two days. A deal worth £54 million is said to be in the works. This will really make the Blues of London a force.
With the signing of Jorginho made a few days ago – the Blues look set to fight their way back into the Champions League and possible rally for the Premier League title, again. The Stamford Bridge side is also said to be in a transfer battle with Liverpool for World Cup participant, Alisson.
