The last club to show interest in Ronaldo is Atletico Madrid, whose need in attack after the departure of Luis Suarez could require a big star like the Portuguese.

However, the reality of these speculations is quite different from the information initially offered, and according to Atlético de Madrid, the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo is not being considered by the Atlético de Madrid board, mainly because the red and white team cannot afford his salary demands, according to Marca's information.

One of the fundamental problems is that Atletico Madrid has several strikers. Matheus Cunha, Ángel Correa or Joao Félix are some of the names on the list of attackers of Diego Simeone's team. It is true that the manager showed interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo, however, the Argentine understands that, to face such a transfer, Atletico Madrid would first have to let some players go.

Atletico would have to make room to sign Ronaldo

Atletico would have to make a big sale, to make room for Cristiano Ronaldo and his massive wages. And in this situation, the key name would be Joao Felix, who would be Atletico's key to opening the doors of the transfer market. They received a very important offer from Bayern Munich, but decided to reject it. Enrique Cerezo already warned that there would be no new signings, but if the young Portuguese left, it could open the doors of the Wanda Metropolitano to receive Cristiano Ronaldo.
