A recent report from COPE has revealed that Jorge Mendes, the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo, had held a meeting with Miguel Angel Gil Marin, the Atletico Madrid CEO, at the start of July. The Portuguese super-agent had offered Atleti the chance to sign the Manchester United attacker ahead of the new season. Mendes stressed that the attacker’s hefty wages should not be a problem as the player is willing to lower his demands. His main issue is from a sporting perspective and not from an economic perspective, as the Manchester United forward is keen on playing in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Ronaldo’s current club Manchester United have appeared as an undesirable option for the attacker after the club missed out on a top-four finish last season.

The 34-year-old was given a one-year extension on his contract last year, but opportunities were hard to come by in the 2021/22 season.
