Recently, the Atletico Madrid’s fan club, Union Internacional de Penas del Atletico Madrid released a statement which said “Given the possibility that the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo is more than just a rumour we express our absolute rejection of any hypothetical incorporation into our club.
“The aforementioned player represents the antithesis of the values that are the hallmarks of our Atleti, such as effort, generosity, simplicity and humility.
“Even in the unlikely event that a player in decline such as Cristiano Ronaldo could secure a title; we would not accept his signing. The sense of belonging to our Atletico is not something that is within his reach, to his misfortune, so he could never achieve our affection or recognition. Therefore, we ask the club to reject his possible signing, if he has ever been considered.”
On the other hand, Club President Enrique Cerezo has quashed the rumors and said “I don’t know who invented this story about Cristiano Ronaldo to Atletico Madrid. It’s definitely not true. It’s practically impossible for him to come to Atletico Madrid.
“Rumours are rumours and they have to stay as rumours. If you keep on fueling the rumours then eventually it will look like it’s something real, which it’s not.”
Also, the former Real Madrid player also responded an Instagram users comment on him leaving the club. He said “Impossible not to talk about me one day. Otherwise the press makes no money. You know that if you don’t lie you can’t get people’s attention. Keep going that one day you got some news right.”
