Football News: Cristiano Ronaldo could end up with Atletico Madrid

After just one season, the forward's return to Old Trafford appears to be over. While he performed admirably for Manchester United on a personal level, scoring 24 goals in 38 appearances, concerns have been raised about his playing approach. Many people believe that his refusal to go back has hurt rather than benefited the Red Devils.

And after struggling to finish sixth, there have been rumours that he wants to quit United this summer. To that aim, one speculator even asserts that the star's new manager, Erik ten Hag, will be 'buzzing' him discreetly.

However, Ten Hag maintains that Ronaldo is still a part of his ambitions in public. To that aim, the new United manager has vehemently denied rumours that the seasoned star will be traded.

But rumours have continued, and Ronaldo has since been connected to many teams. Several teams have been interested, including PSG, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and the current top club, Sporting Lisbon.

However, current Spanish reports suggest a surprise return to LaLiga may be in the works.

Cristiano Ronaldo's next step appears to be a move to Wanda Metropolitano. As a result, and if they can afford it, we can see this action taking place.

Despite protestations, Ten Hag will have more money after his departure to pursue a trade for Antony, and another centre striker might still be a target.

Accordingly, their report concludes: "Cristiano wants to leave Manchester United. Time is running and, as the days go by, the rumours about the star's future are increasing."

"At the moment, the only sure thing is that he is still a United player. But it is not unreasonable to believe in a possible return of Cristiano to the Spanish League."

"His club, for now, does not see it that way, but the player presses and Atleti, on the prowl, hopes that there will be movements at Old Trafford."

Following this news, questions have already been raised because Ronaldo has a turbulent relationship with Atletico fans and is unpopular because of his success at Real Madrid.

A transfer to Atletico would surely damage his reputation at Real Madrid in the eyes of the club's ardent Madrid rivals.

As Manchester United supporters wait for his next move, Ronaldo's decision will reportedly become more evident in the upcoming weeks.

While Lisandro Martinez's transfer has been finalised, Manchester United is confident that signings four and five are ready to arrive.

Atletico Madrid decides on Cristiano Ronaldo

Atletico Madrid's summer acquisition of Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has been ruled out.

According to Marca, the dominant LaLiga clubs in Spain do not view a Ronaldo transfer as "economically realistic."

Right now, Atletico is unable to cover the 37-year-old old's exorbitant salary.

Ronaldo is eager to move on from Manchester United and join a side that will compete in the UEFA Champions League instead of the Europa League. He wants to win his sixth European Cup to overtake Paco Gento.

Ronaldo won the Champions League once with Manchester United in 2008 before winning four times with Real Madrid between 2014 and 2018.

Even if Atletico is a regular in the Champions League and will play in 2022–2023, the current circumstances make it impossible.
