Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo received a new slap, following Spanish press reports revealed that Atletico Madrid refused to sign him.
The 37-year-old asked to leave Manchester United for his desire to participate in the Champions League next season, and maintain his scoring record in the continental championship, as he leads the list of scorers with 141 goals, and is behind him, the Barcelona legend and the current player of Paris Saint-Germain with 125 goals. .
Media reports had indicated earlier that Mendes, Ronaldo’s agent, had offered the Portuguese star to Atletico Madrid to join his ranks this summer, but the newspaper “Marca” reported that the club rejected the idea of contracting him.
She added, “Atletico Madrid will not be able to include the player because the deal is not economically feasible, because of the huge salary requested by Ronaldo, in addition to the amount that must be paid to Manchester United, who owns the player’s contract until the summer of 2023, and therefore the contract with Ronaldo was refused from the first minute.”
Ronaldo was offered in the past few days to several clubs, but he was rejected by Chelsea and Bayern Munich, in addition to Paris Saint-Germain, and recently Atletico Madrid.
