You will read the name of Jorge Mendes several times this summer and he will be one of those men who will appear in several of the most important movements of this transfer market. The Portuguese agent does not rest from July to September in search of the best possible destination for his players who want to leave the clubs they are in or, vice versa, they are the ones he wants to move.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Rúben Neves, Renato Sanches, James Rodríguez, Guedes, Rafa Mir, Diego Costa or Falcao they are the main names that Mendes has on his agenda as tasks to solve between now and the end of the summer.
The Christian case
Cristiano Ronaldo is the name of the market. The Portuguese does not have his future assured at Juventus and the club has also rehired Max Allegri, with whom he agreed and did not end well. The Italian coach wants to make Paulo Dybala the cornerstone of his project, but everything seems to be up in the air.
From the club they transmit tranquility. “Nobody around Cristiano Ronaldo has told us that he wants to leave, so I am waiting for him with us. We hope that he will return on vacation on July 25,” said Pavel Nedved. Every day that passes brings him closer to staying at Juventus.
Future uncertain for the rest
Guedes could leave Valencia to several LaLiga clubs and Bernardo Silva, who used to count a lot at City, could look for his future further away from the Etihad. Rafa Mir also sounds for Atlético, although the arrival of Griezmann, still only probable, could condition the plans.
Renato Sanches is another of the coveted pieces for this market. Lille, despite winning the French League, needs to sell and the former Golden Boy still has an excellent line-up among the greats of Europe. Liverpool, among so many others, has him on their list of futures. Another midfielder, Neves, will also remain in England and is expected to move from Wolves to Arsenal.
Two with the most complicated future are Diego Costa and Falcao. The one that was a pair of forwards of Atlético de Madrid would be looking for a new destination. Costa has not found a club since he resigned with the rojiblancos and Tigre would be looking for a new destination away from Galatasaray.
