Atletico Madrid fans stage protest against Cristiano Ronaldo
The thought of signing the former Real Madrid forward has enraged the club's supporters.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar, is said to be determined to leave Manchester United this summer. As a result, he has been connected with a number of high-profile clubs, including Atletico Madrid of La Liga. The club's fans, on the other hand, are outraged by the notion and have openly protested Ronaldo's association with the team.Manchester United are already in the midst of pre-season training, and the 37-year-old has been conspicuously absent. He was allegedly dealing with a personal situation with his family, but many feel he is skipping pre-season to decide out his future, ideally with another club.
Even if they are interested, few teams can afford to accommodate the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. Bayern Munich, as well as his old employers Real Madrid, had already ruled out the move. Surprisingly, his name was associated with Atletico, prompting fans to speak up.The supporters' organization initially took their protest to social media, issuing a "Comunicado Oficial" saying that they would not accept Ronaldo's signing, despite the fact that a player of his caliber might help assure titles. The supporters then took their protest to the club's pre-season encounter against Numancia. They displayed a banner that said "CR7 not welcome" in full view of all the players and club administrators.
In response to the outcry, club president Enrique Cerezo has already stated that the links with the former Real Madrid great were "manufactured" and are merely rumors.
Even if they had pondered it behind closed doors, Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid management now appear to be aware that they would be creating a significant problem.According to reports, the footballer has returned to Manchester and is determined to resolve his future as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, United coach Erik ten Hag insists that Ronaldo is one of his players and that he is eager to welcome him back to the squad.
