With the international scene being fairly quiet, only a few major events have occurred in recent days. To kick things off, the transfer windows around Europe have opened and transfer talks are well underway. The biggest transfer story to come out of England is that Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez could have snubbed Manchester United to join fierce rivals, Liverpool, as he seeks Champions League football. There are still some concerns over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at the Red Devils. Will the Portugues veteran stay at a club that cannot offer him Champions League football, or will he leave Old Trafford? Will a UCL team sign Ronaldo? These are the questions that Soccer Laduma International news correspondent Kurt Buckerfield answers on the latest episode of the International News desk podcast!
