Superstar footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly wants to leave Manchester United for Atletico Madrid and is willing to accept a pay drop.
According to rumors, Jorge Mendes wants to arrange for the international from Portugal to join Atletico Madrid.
In light of rumors that an initial loan agreement may be arranged, the Manchester United superstar's agency has been attempting to determine whether Atletico can afford the expense of signing the 37-year-old.
While United was playing in Perth for their preseason, Ronaldo uploaded a photo of himself working out in Lisbon.
Ronaldo has reportedly expressed a willingness to accept a pay cut from his base weekly salary of £360,000, but Atletico would first have to sell players, according to Mail Online.
Two players that might be offloaded are Alvaro Morata, who is wanted by Juventus, and Antoine Griezmann.
Ronaldo, who played for Real Madrid for nine seasons, asked to leave United to play in the Champions League again and has not yet shown up for training, citing family reasons which the club accepted.
United’s stance on the situation has been that Ronaldo is not for sale and is under contract.
The forward is reportedly included in Erik ten Hag's plans, and the new manager says he is looking forward to working with him.
