Diego Simeone is said to be one of the coaches with much respect for Ronaldo.
He has always describe the Man United legend as a star and great player to work with.
However, as at the time filing this report, it appears that the Spanish giant may not likely sign the player.
According to Atletico Universe, signing Ronaldo by Atletico Madrid may not be a viable option for the club
🚨| Atlético Madrid CANNOT afford to sign Cristiano Ronaldo RIGHT NOW.
The club needs to make €40m in sales and it would have to be even more for Ronaldo. Also, the exit operations are very 'stuck' in the Metropolitano offices.

Ronaldo is currently out of United squad for the pre-season tour. His absence has been linked to family issues.
