Cristiano Ronaldo (37) faces an uncertain time. He was previously linked with Spain’s Atletico Madrid – but now the club’s fan group is working hard against the Manchester United striker.

Until then, Ronaldo did not participate in United’s pre-season due to “personal reasons”, and rumors about the Portuguese’s future at the club have been circulating in recent weeks. Atlético Madrid is among the teams mentioned as a possible new team for Ronaldo.

Now the official Atletico fan group will come out against the former Real Madrid player. on me website They published a public statement on behalf of supporters.
“Ronaldo represents the opposite of what constitutes Atletico’s identity, such as effort, generosity and humility. Even if a player like Cristiano Ronaldo might get a title, we would not accept his signature.”
“We ask the club to reject his possible transfer, if it is considered,” the publication concludes.
Alexander Larsen is in charge of the Norwegian club Atlético de Madrid supporters. He has no doubts what he thinks about the Ronaldo-Atletico combination.
It would be a major catastrophe and the biggest mistake made during Diego Simeone’s time. Mathematically, I don’t think it’s an enhancement either, he points out VG and continues:
I think it will cause major problems in many areas. Sports, but not least also non-sports. This is definitely something I imagine could swear fans violently, which of course isn’t a good thing at all.
In July, The Times claimed that Ronaldo wanted to leave the club, just a year after his return. Manchester United had a poor season in 2021/22, finishing sixth in the Premier League and thus ineligible to play the Champions League this season.
