According to tier-one reporter Matteo Moretto of Relevo, Cristiano Ronaldo is close to deciding his future as he tries to push for a Manchester United exit.
The 37-year-old 'wants to return' to Madrid but not with Real Madrid apparently.
Ronaldo is reportedly willing to slash his weekly wages to join Atletico Madrid. The Spanish side had earlier rejected the chance to sign him because of his £500,000-per-week salary.
Now that Cristiano is open to negotiating a lower wage structure, perhaps Atletico could be persuaded to sign him.
Despite Erik ten Hag's insistence that Ronaldo is part of his plans, it appears the Portuguese has made up his mind to leave.
He's still missing from pre-season training after not reporting due to a 'family issue'.
