Summary: Manchester United - Liverpool 0:4 (Preparation) (Sport1)
The president of Atlético Madrid hinted yesterday that the Colchoneros have no intention of adding Cristiano Ronaldo in the current transfer window, but there are those who claim that internally, the situation at the club is different.
"RMC" reporter Sasha Tabolieri reported tonight (between Friday and Saturday) that officials at Atletico Madrid expressed optimism regarding the possibility that the Portuguese striker will strengthen the team for the upcoming season, "despite the president's statements."
Although the strongest man in the organization, Enrique Cereso, did not clearly rule out the option, but when he arrived at the team dinner held by Diego Simeone and his players this week, he answered questions about Ronaldo as follows: "I think this is a question that has already been answered. We have a wonderful staff here, great players and a coach Fantastic. We have everything, what more can you ask for?".
Atlético is still optimistic.

The main obstacle for Atlético comes from the financial side, as CR7's salary is considered too heavy for the club from the capital of Spain, which is trying to stabilize its financial situation in order to meet the regulations of the local league.
However, according to Tabolieri's report, there is one move that may change the picture: the sale of Matheus Konya.
The Brazilian striker, who was purchased last year from Hertha Berlin for 26 million euros, earns a salary of about 3 million euros per season and may be of interest to quite a few teams, given the fact that he contributed six goals and six assists in the league despite playing only about 35 minutes on average in 29 appearances.
As you remember, in recent days Ronaldo's agent made it clear that the star is ready to cut his salary by 30%, so the sale of Konya may open the door for him to Atlético Madrid.
Whether the Portuguese signs in its ranks or not, Diego Simeone's team will arrive in Israel for an exhibition match where they will meet Juventus in Bloomfield, on August 7 (live broadcast on Sport1).
