FC Barcelona rejected chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo – Joan Laporta

Crunchsports :    Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta has claimed the Catalans had the chance to sign Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo several years ago.

Ronaldo has again been in superb form this season for Madrid, but according to Laporta, the Portugal international could have been lining up in a Barca shirt several years ago.

Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, offered the winger to the La Liga leaders in 2003 when he was still at Sporting, but Barca decided not to make a bid as they had spent heavily on bringing other players to Camp Nou.
