Ronaldo is fuming with the PIF-funded transfer politics of the division, which have seen title rivals Al-Hilal add Karim Benzema to their ranks, while Al-Nassr have been restricted in the market.

Unless things change, Ronaldo's ready to quit, withFichajes claiming a return to first club Sporting Lisbon is his likeliest destination.

Sunderland's recruitment team got plenty right last summer the Premier League's serious spenders are already circling the Stadium of Light like sharks.

In addition to interest in Noah Sadiki,Sunderland are also braced for approaches for Robin Roefs. The young goalkeeper's Black Cat-like reflexes have piqued the interest of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, report Football Insider.

Manchester United's midfield 'Ip dip doo' looks to have landed on Elliot Anderson. Though the Red Devils also like the look of Brighton's Carlos Baleba and Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, The Athletic say it's Anderson who's top of the summer shortlist.

Down in the capital,West Ham hung on to Crysencio Summerville in January, rejecting approaches from clubs in the Premier League and Serie A. Fabrizio Romano has said the Dutch winger is one to watch in the summer, however, regardless of which division the struggling Hammers end up in. Several clubs are keen.

Finally, Fenerbahce have failed in a bid to bringDarwin Nunez to Istanbul. The Turkish team had been in talks with Al-Hilal over a loan move for the ex-Liverpool frontman, who could be squeezed out following Karim Benzema's arrival at the Saudi Pro League leaders. Nunez only joined Al-Hilal in the summer and looks set to stick around - for now.
