Cristiano Ronaldo is still insisting he wants to leave Man Utd. The fact they did not qualify for the Champions League means the Portuguese is now looking for a club. There had been previously been rumours of Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid being after him, but now ‘ESPN’ have confirmed the news.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be involved in another transfer saga this summer. The same thing happened last year when he decided to leave Juventus to move back to Man Utd. However, now what he wants is to leave Old Trafford in search of a team who are playing in the Champions League.
The fact Man Utd have not qualified for the Champions League has been key to the Portuguese deciding to leave the Mancunian outfit. Not even Ten Hag’s arrival has persuaded the Portuguese to stay and he is now looking for a new club. He has even offered himself to several teams. PSG and Bayern Munich have been linked the most with him.
Nevertheless, there could be a bombshell as previous reports had put Atletico Madrid in the equation. Atletico are one of his favourite victims and the fans, Diego Simeone and some of the players do not get on well with the former Real Madrid player.
Despite that, ‘ESPN’ has now confirmed that both Atletico and Bayern are after CR7. In the case of the Germans, everything depends on what happens with Lewandowski and whether he will finally move to Barcelona. If not, he would sign the Portuguese.
Atletico Madrid have it much more difficult. That is because Simeone has five strikers at his disposal after Morata’s return. In addition, the state of the club’s coffers does not allow them to make big signings or have players with large salaries. Their priority is to sign a right-back.
What is true is that a busy summer lies ahead for one of the best footballers in the world. At the moment, he has not gone with the rest of his teammates on the pre-season tour due to family reasons.
