It's no secret that before arriving at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was taking his first steps in his career at the time, had already attracted the attention of other famous European teams.
In an interview, C. Ronaldo revealed which teams he talked to in 2003. However, as the player himself added, the matches before "Man Utd" were crucial in his career.
"I kept in touch with various teams. 'Valencia', for example, was one of them," the player said.
"I also met with Arsene Wenger and we also discussed a possible move to 'Arsenal'. I also had talks with representatives from 'Barcelona', Madrid 'Real' and 'Inter'."
However, after the matches before Manchester United, who were also interested in me, everything happened much faster and negotiations ended with my move to Manchester," added one of the best footballers on the planet.
