Atletico Madrid are a real option for Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has not been going to training with Manchester United for the last two weeks. He’s started a strike with the aim of leaving the club during this transfer window, although United say that it’s because of ‘family problems’.

Jorge Mendes has been offering the forward to many clubs, clubs who are going to be playing in the Champions League - Ronaldo doesn’t want to miss out.

Thomas Tuchel was not interested in bringing him to Chelsea, while Mendes also offered him to Barça without luck.

Days ago they said that Atletico Madrid could he his destination but it seemed like a joke, but now AS are reporting it.

It’s a real possibility, say the Madrid paper, with Simeone on record praising the striker in an interview with Sky Sport Italia.

“He’s an absolute champion, known worldwide. He has a lot of personality, and he’s left his mark. Playing in a position that he doesn’t like a lot, as centre forward, but with the team, Manchester United are very dangerous. He’s a monster, an extraordinary player and he’s been decisive wherever he’s been. Evidently he has done a lot of damage against us.”

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has said the club need 40m to keep competing in the transfer market, with the priority being to sign a right back. They want to sell Alvaro Morata.
