Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are both interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo, but the question is whether or not the Portuguese star will accept a pay cut. The Portuguese currently earns 31 million euros gross per year at Manchester United, so any economic concessions will be a major factor in the signing. Real Madrid, Chelsea, and PSG have already shut the door to a possible move for Cristiano Ronaldo. Atletico Madrid are still in the running, but they will need to make further economic concessions to secure his signature.

Cristiano Ronaldo is willing to take a pay cut to join Atletico Madrid

A recent report suggests that Cristiano Ronaldo is willing to take hefty pay cuts in order to join Atletico Madrid. The Portuguese superstar is eager to leave Manchester United this summer and will even take a pay cut of 30% in order to do so. Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has been in contact with elite clubs in order to secure his transfer. However, Atletico are reportedly not interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo and are distancing themselves from his signing.

A renowned journalist and sports commentator, Ben Jacobs, claimed that the Portuguese star is ready to accept a pay cut in order to join Atletico Madrid. Although Atletico have distanced themselves from Ronaldo, the fact remains that the club could offer Cristiano Ronaldo Champions League football, which he clearly desires. However, the Spanish giants are not in a position to pay his enormous wage demands. If he does take a pay cut, the Spanish club will be able to absorb the extra costs and be able to sign him.

The reason why Atletico are not interested is that they do not have the money to pay a higher price for Ronaldo. They are struggling financially and need to sign a new manager. However, the current manager of Atletico Madrid, Erik ten Hag, is expected to rebuild the squad and transform the club. Cristiano is keen to join a club with a chance to win trophies immediately, as he has only a few good years left in his career.

Manchester United are keen to keep Ronaldo, but he is disappointed with the decline in standards at the club and wants to play Champions League football for the rest of his career. Even so, a transfer to Atleti remains a realistic possibility for the Portugal international. If it is indeed a realistic option for him, the move is highly unlikely to come to fruition.

Manchester United’s refusal to accept a 30% pay cut has prompted a huge drop in interest in the player. The Portuguese forward has also reportedly refused to return to pre-season due to family reasons. While the transfer talks between Ronaldo and Atleti have stalled for a month, Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has been telling potential suitors that he is prepared to cut his wages by 30%.

Manchester United are also interested in Gareth Bale and Corey Davis. Despite their mutual interest in both players, Bale hasn’t reported to pre-season training, citing a family matter. It is unclear if United will be able to convince them of an offer for their respective players. If the transfer goes through, it will be a great deal for United.
