Last night, some kid named Christian Pulisic decided what better time to light things up than back at home in the U.S. of A. against the Champions League runners-up/the team that has a growing interest in him.
When Fábio Henrique Tavares, Fabinho as we know him, signed a roughly $57.4 million long-term deal with Liverpool in July, Kylian Mbappé texted him a congratulations on the move. Now, Fabinho wants his former Monaco teammate to join him.
The summer 2018 transfer window is in full swing with plenty of money being splashed out on players by clubs looking to get the edge over their opponents. While some transfers do get confirmed, there are tons of rumors that float about. Some become fact, but many, many more become fiction.

French champion Paris Saint-Germain bid the equivalent of just over $316 million for Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho, as reported by Mundo Deportivo. The world-record bid was sought through Coutinho’s agents as a mediator with Barcelona. The 26-year-old Brazilian does have a $470 million release clause in his contract with Barcelona.
Neymar transfer rumors have circulated almost since he stepped foot on the training ground at Paris Saint-Germain. Such is the nature of European soccer, with its escalating transfer fees and dueling ownership groups.

Fernando Torres just finished his time at boyhood club Atletico Madrid, and he's now a free agent. The world is his oyster. Torres is 34 years old, and he's obviously coming to the twilight of his career. But, as he showed for Atletico this past season in La Liga and the Europa League, there's still life in him.
Every single front page in Italy right now screams Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus. Sure, they don’t have a World Cup to care about, but this is big news. It’s been a long time since a Serie A team made a real blockbuster signing and players don’t come much bigger than Cristiano Ronaldo. But is there any truth to the rumor? Could CR7 really move to Italy?
Cristiano Ronaldo Juventus move rumors are firing up the transfer market. Public opinion is divided as to whether the Portuguese star should leave Real Madrid in search of new horizons or be faithful to the team that consolidated him as a legend.
Truth is, Ronaldo has achieved everything at Real Madrid. Playing for los Blancos, Cristiano has won two La Liga titles, two Copa del Reys, two Super Copa de Españas and four (!) UEFA Champions League trophies.
Just days after it was reported that Real Madrid had lowered Cristiano Ronaldo’s buyout clause from over $1 billion to just $140 million, the latest rumors see Juventus meeting that asking price with a sensational swoop for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
