The agent of Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly making it clear to clubs that his client will accept a pay cut of 30% to leave Manchester United this summer.
The Portugal international has been absent from Man Utd’s pre-season tour, and it’s not clear if we’ll be seeing him play for the club again.
Ronaldo only returned to Old Trafford less than a year ago, arriving for a second spell after leaving Juventus late on in the summer.
It seems this second stint could be a short one, however, with Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports providing an update on the 37-year-old’s situation in the Twitter thread below…
Atleti sources reiterate that the club are simply not in a financial position to move. Atleti have termed signing Ronaldo “problematic”. A Real return is also not an option. There is no appetite for it on Real’s side.

Jacobs says that Jorge Mendes is informing clubs that Ronaldo will take a big pay cut to get a transfer away from Old Trafford, but it seems that a return to Real Madrid is not on the cards.

Ronaldo was also offered to Barcelona, while Atletico Madrid looks like a possibility for the veteran forward.
Despite his age, Ronaldo scored 24 goals in all competitions for a struggling United side last season, so could surely still do a job for many top teams in Europe.
