Another transfer bomb may be looming after Robert Lewandowski’s move to Barcelona! According to the Spanish newspaper AS, star Cristiano Ronaldo could return to Spain.
Will Ronaldo return to Spain?
All summer there has been speculation about his future, but nothing is yet official. Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants to leave Manchester United, eager to improve on his record in the Champions League, where the Red Devils will miss out.
But coach Erik ten Hag still claims that Ronaldo is not for sale and figures in his plans for the upcoming season. In addition, he added that he knows nothing about the Portuguese submitting a transfer request.
However, Ronaldo did not start training with the team, he did not even go on the pre-season tour, thus giving room for various speculations. He excused his absence for family reasons. However, according to foreign media, he is dealing with a transfer.
Most of the talk was about an escape to Chelsea, but she had already ended her efforts. Ronaldo should have heard a clear “no” from Bayern or PSG. So it started to be considered that he could return to Portugal, specifically to Sporting, where he started his career. However, he denied this information on social networks.
However, on Monday, the Spanish newspaper AS reported that the Portuguese could return to Spain. But not to Real Madrid. However, he could still find a place in the capital of Spain.
According to AS journalists, Ronaldo’s representatives were to contact Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone and allegedly tried to convince him to bring Ronaldo to his team.
It makes sense?
This would of course be a sensational move. And not only for Atlético Madrid, but for the entire La Liga, which would get another charge. Fans can already look forward to Karim Benzema’s duels with Robert Lewandowski. If Ronaldo were to come to Atlético then, it would be spicy.
Moreover, given that Ronaldo has gone down in Real Madrid history as arguably the best player of all time.
In addition, Atlético would welcome a similar scorer. Griezmann still hasn’t found the form he left Barcelona with. The club left Luis Suárez and build an attack on Morata? This does not make much sense from the point of view of the club’s ambitions.
In addition, Simeone knows Ronaldo’s qualities very well, as the Portuguese scored one goal after another against his team. He even prevailed against Atlético in two Champions League finals, even once in a penalty shootout. And it is the sight of winning this trophy that could make Simeone sign him.
