Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Atletico Madrid have given Uruguay striker Diego Forlan permission to negotiate a possible transfer, the Spanish club said today.
The 32-year-old dropped out of Atletico's squad just before they flew to Portugal for Thursday's Europa League qualifier against Vitoria Guimaraes, and Spanish media have linked him with interest from Inter Milan.
"Forlan asked (coach Gregorio) Manzano this morning not to travel to Guimaraes because he was studying the possibility of signing for another team," Atletico said on their Twitter feed on their official website (www.clubatleticodemadrid.com).
"Manzano authorised him to stay in Madrid because Atletico have a lot at stake and need players who are 100 percent."
Forlan, a two-time European Golden Shoe winner, was voted best player of the World Cup finals in South Africa last year.
