Cristiano Ronaldo has announced he wants to leave Manchester United for a club competing in the Champions League this season.
And an option may have just become available to him with Atletico Madrid – despite the club’s president Enrique Cerezo previously labelling a move for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner as “practically impossible”.
One issue facing the Portugal international is finding a club that is prepared to pay his extortionate wages and that can also offer him Champions League football.
Atletico Madrid may just change their tune on the 37-year-old following a report in Confidencial Digital that they’ve sold the fewest amount of shirts this summer in their history.
While Ronaldo is not an obvious answer to this problem for Atletico, the Portugual international helps generate an incredible amount of revenue for whichever club he represents.
As reported by The Athletic, Juventus saw their commercial revenue increase by £27million in a season from £123m before Ronaldo signed to £150m the following campaign.
The club’s kit supplier deal with Adidas also jumped by £24m from £19.8m to £43.8m, while the sponsorship deal with Jeep increased by £24.5m from £14.5m to £39m during Ronaldo’s time in Italy.
Man United have also started to reap the benefits of Ronaldo returning to Old Trafford, with revenues growing £34.5m from £118.3m to £152.8m and commercial revenue growing £7.5m from £58.1m to £65.6m.
Ronaldo also held the record for most shirt sales in Italy on a single day when he joined Juventus before this feat was very recently broken by Paulo Dybala signing for Roma.
