Career of the Portuguese star striker Cristiano Ronaldo could develop in a different scenario.
A former scout for Arsenal, Damien Comolli says that it is the Gunners first considered the talent of the kid from “sporting” – “the Arsenal” watched Ronaldo, football player, came to London for the viewing, but the deal never took place.
Twice he came to our training center. Nobody knows about it. He met with Thierry Henri, who was his idol. However, when it came to the implementation of the transfer, the club did not have money
A few months later “Manchester United” has agreed to a partnership with sporting, and has organized a friendly match in Lisbon. Alex Ferguson wanted to sign Ronaldo and finally took away the player’s Arsenal. Everything else is just history,” said Comolli.
In 2003, the year over Ronaldo “Manchester United” has paid 12 million pounds. In six seasons in England, the Portuguese had grown into a worldwide star, for the first time received the “Golden ball” and the status of three-time champion of England and winner of the Champions League for a record 93 million euros went to real Madrid, where he performs until now.
