Super agent Jorge Mendes offered Cristiano Ronaldo to Paris Saint-Germain but the French giants turned down the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, according to a report.
ESPN says sources told them Mendes discussed a potential coup for Ronaldo with PSG’s new sporting director Luis Campos and their president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Mendes knows his fellow Portuguese Campos well, and is also familiar with Al-Khelaifi with whom he has hashed out numerous contracts for their shared players.
Yet it is claimed that PSG didn’t feel that Ronaldo has the right profile for them at the moment while fitting his salary on the wage bill amid Financial Fair Play regulations would also be tricky.
There also isn’t room for him in Christophe Galtier’s star-studded squad, with the new coach who recently replaced Mauricio Pochettino looking to use a back three defensive line in the upcoming season.
