Cristiano Ronaldo remains intent on leaving Manchester United before the transfer window closes, sparked by his furious reaction to a clause in his contract.
Atletico Madrid are among the clubs who offer a potential escape route for the Portuguese star, who remains determined to depart the Red Devils this summer after just one season back at Old Trafford following his high-profile return from Juventus last year after 12 years away.
He has been attempting to force through an exit for two months but no move has yet been concluded with less than a week remaining in the transfer window. Ronaldo has lost his starting spot in United’s team and the club are open to allowing him to leave, but the player’s wage demands makes any potential exit prohibitive.
