According to Daily Sports, the 35-year-old Ronaldo had already been quoted before moving to Manchester United in 2003. Former Barcelona chairman Laporta claimed that before Ronaldo joined Manchester United, Barcelona had the opportunity to sign Ronaldo, but he did not regret missing out on him. There is only one trophy between Ronaldo and Messi
The giant forward has been a prolific player in a trophy-filled career. The 35-year-old Ronaldo continues to thrive at Serie A giant Juventus. In a career filled with countless championships, the 35-year-old Ronaldo is still setting records with Serie A giant Juventus. Cristiano Ronaldo has won five Ballon d'Or awards, second only to Messi's six. Both are widely regarded as Two of the best players ever. But the Barcelona presidential candidate made a big statement: I once refused to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for 17 million for two reasons. They rejected Ronaldo but they have no regrets
Laporta said that the two people may have the opportunity to become teammates in Barcelona. The 58-year-old Laporta will run for the chairman of Barcelona for the second time. He broke the news to reporters: The agent team at that time said that one of their players would be sold to Manchester United for 19 million euros, but they were willing to sell it to Barcelona for 17 million euros! Laporta believed that Ronaldo was not as versatile as Ronaldinho and did not have the ability to lead Messi. We had already bought Ronaldinho at that time. Ronaldo could only play on the wing at that time, but Ronaldinho was more versatile. , we felt that having Ronaldinho was enough, so we rejected Ronaldo, and I don’t regret it. Although Barcelona seemed to have missed the opportunity to sign Ronaldo, former Brazil international Ronaldinho enjoyed considerable success at Barcelona, ??while also helping to coach Messi when he appeared in the first team. Ronaldo also won two championships at Juventus
At the same time, Ronaldo moved to Old Trafford. Before moving to Real Madrid, he won two championships at Manchester United under the guidance of Ferguson. Won 3 Premier League titles and 1 Champions League title. Later during his time in La Liga, Ronaldo became a record-breaking huge player for Real Madrid, helping Real Madrid win 2 league titles and 4 Champions League titles, among many other individual and team honors. Ronaldo has now won two Serie A titles with Juventus, but whether he can win a third title in the 2020-21 season remains to be seen. Pirlo's team is currently ranked fourth in Serie A, one game behind the leader AC Milan has 7 points.
Would it be picturesque if Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi formed a team's forward combination? Previously, Western media revealed that Ferguson once wanted to sell Ronaldo to Barcelona, ??and now former Barcelona chairman Laporta said that Barcelona was indeed close to signing Ronaldo, but due to transfer fee issues, it was ultimately aborted. At the beginning of this century, there were many top Portuguese wingers playing for Barcelona. Figo and Quaresma both played at Camp Nou. In 2003, Barcelona attached great importance to Ronaldo, who played for Sporting Lisbon and became increasingly famous. After Laporta saw Ronaldo's performance, he decided to sign Ronaldo. When Manchester United signed Ronaldo, they were full of sincerity
At that time, Barcelona was trying to get out of the trough. Laporta said that at that time, the Red and Blues had already signed Ronaldinho. , Marquez and Quaresma, Mendes also recommended Ronaldo to Barcelona, ??and the offer was only 17 million, which was lower than the 19 million that Manchester United spent to sign Ronaldo. However, considering that the team has signed three stars in succession, Barcelona did not choose to spend another sum of money to sign Ronaldo. However, Manchester United was very sincere about signing Ronaldo. Ferguson himself was in Lisbon during the process of signing Ronaldo. After Sir Alex Ferguson saw his own O'Shea being beaten by Cristiano Ronaldo, he immediately asked the club to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, otherwise he would stay in Portugal. In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United got on the plane to the UK together.
