News about Ruud van Nistelrooy

TRANSFER CONFIDENTIAL COLUMN BY SIMON JONES: My name is Simon Jones and I will be providing you with insight, gossip, and the most up-to-date information from around the world ahead of this summer's transfer window. It's likely to be blitzing in the Premier League as the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea all seem to be spending more money to close the gap between Arsenal and Manchester City, while others on the verge of relegation will be concerned about the prodigal vultures. I offer you the most up-to-date information from around the world ahead of Xavi's transfer window, including information on a 16-year-old wonderkid dubbed 'the new Gerard Pique' and several potential moves at Barcelona's Barcelona, where manager Xavi could call in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and allow Raphinha to depart and let Raphinha go.

Fabio Silva, a Wolves defender, has had his loan agreement with Anderlecht terminated ahead of a potential transfer to Dutch top-flight challengers PSV Eindhoven. Under new manager Julien Lorenzegui, Wolves may have hoped to give Silva a chance, but instead, the youngster will head to Holland, as PSV talks continue to progress.

According to sources, Real Madrid is monitoring Bruno Fernandes ahead of the Manchester United midfielder's move. Fernandes has been a standout performer for the Red Devils since being relocated to Old Trafford in 2020, scoring 53 goals in 146 appearances in all competitions. In April, he signed a lucrative new deal with the club, extending his contract until June 2026, but that hasn't stopped Madrid from following him.

Arsenal faces PSV on Thursday evening, knowing that victory would guarantee qualification from Group A. During the tournament, Arteta's side will progress to the last 16 and avoid a play-off against a Champions League drop-out. Cody Gakpo, one of Europe's top scorers, has more goals and assists this season than him. Ruud Van Nistelrooy, a former Manchester United striker, will also return to Arsenal after some epic clashes with Arsene Wenger's side almost two decades ago. Arteta posted his players' photos of the infamous 2003 clash between Van Nistelrooy and Sportsmail's Martin Keown, as shown below.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy claims he is "relaxed" over the transfer rumors surrounding Manchester United's Cody Gakpo. Erik ten Haag, the former Trafford boss, wants to buy the PSV Eindhoven winger in a £38 million contract. After Wednesday night's Champions League play-off second leg against Rangers, the 23-year-old hopes to make a decision on his fate.

After Rangers struggled to clear a corner, the visitors were led in the 37th minute to fire home, with the ball dropping to Ibrahim Sangare. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's guys resurfaced three minutes later when Antonio Colak began a well-planned move. Both teams looked for the game's third goal after the break, and Rangers' goalkeeper Walter Benitez miraculously allowed Tom Larence's free-kick to squirm through his hands and into the goal. Rangers were unable to keep going as they were undone at a set-piece once more, with Armando Obispo heading home another corner.
