  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra has claimed that ex-Red Devils team-mate Ronaldo considered moving to Paris Saint-Germain before he swapped Real Madrid for Juventus in 2018. The Frenchman added that Chelsea were also interested in signing the Portuguese but he did not entertain the possibility of joining Arsenal.

    WHAT PATRICE EVRA SAID

    He said on RMC Sport: "Has Cristiano ever wanted to come to PSG? Yes. There was Paris, Arsenal... That was before he signed for Juventus (in 2018). He had Chelsea, Juventus, Paris. He said he would never go to Arsenal. He was interested in the (Parisian) project. You can criticize Cristiano, but he would have adapted. He would have made an effort. Look at what he is doing in Saudi Arabia. He is a Saudi!"

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ronaldo has had a glittering career, playing for some of the biggest teams in the world and winning nearly every trophy available to him. The 39-year-old will go down as one of the greatest players of all time, no matter which team he did or didn't choose to play for.
