Cristiano Ronaldo and Cholo Simeone, a possibility that is beginning to fade.
Cristiano Ronaldo is determined to leave Manchester in this market. So while his representative, Jorge Mendes, tries to put him in a team that is playing the Champions League this season and from United they aspire to keep him, the Portuguese still does not define his future. Now, with the possibility of going to Bayern Munich in decline, other options open up.
And this is where the name of Atlético de Madrid appeared, one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s favorite victims. The Portuguese has been able to score 25 goals in 37 games against those led by Diego Simeone and the turning points in life could lead him to wear the red and white shirt. Could CR7 go from executioner to scorer for Atlético?
Not at the beginning. And this has mainly to do with the economy of the mattress. The team from the Spanish capital not only could not pay for the transfer of the Portuguese, who has a contract with Manchester United until mid-2023but also, today, he would not be able to pay his contract.
Cristiano Ronaldo argues with Stefan Savic, of Atlético de Madrid, during the first leg of the first knockout round of the Champions League.
At Atlético, in fact, it costs more than expected to close Nahuel Molina, Simeone’s great desire in this market. From Udinese they asked for 20 million plus another five in variables to get rid of the right wing of the Argentine national team. In Madrid they understand that this will complicate – even more – the club in this constant need to lighten the wages.
With this contrast, it is clear that the arrival of the Portuguese to the mattress he wouldn’t advance, at least not until the club kicks off with some of its highest contracts. According to what emerged, Ronaldo and those around him welcomed the possibility of Atlético. The management of the Spanish club, not so much.
Cristiano’s name flies over the Wanda Metropolitano.
The rapprochement, which they assure existed from Spain, would have had to do with the figures of Mendes and Miguel Angel Gil Marin. Cristiano’s representative maintains a good relationship with the Atlético owner and represents more than one player who wore the red and white shirt. For this reason, he did not hesitate to offer the Portuguese.
The wish of Atlético fans would be just that, a wish. For now, the colos I would be more than satisfied with the figures of Antoine Griezmann, João Félix, Ángel Correa, Matheus Cunha, Thomas Lemar and Yannick Carrasco, who make up the band of Colchonero’s forwards. The Portuguese will have to keep looking for a club.

Cristiano excluded Sporting Lisbon
Cristiano’s future is uncertain. And while he chooses not to make any statements regarding his continuity in Manchester, the Portuguese chooses to leave some messages through his social networks. The Madeira native is more active than ever on Instagram and, through this channel, denied a rumor that placed him in one of his former teams.
Days ago, Portuguese television network Sport TV paralyzed the world of football by reporting that Cristiano Ronaldo’s car was seen near the José Alvalade stadium, home of Sporting Lisbon. In Portugal, they began to get excited about the return of the prodigal son. But the footballer has decided to nip in the bud with these versions.
Through his Instagram, the Portuguese left a comment in which, with a single word, the illusion of Sporting fans has collapsed. Strong and faithful to his style, Cristiano commented on Sport TV: “False”, clarifying that the Lisbon club will have to wait a little longer to embody his great idol.
