In the summer of 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo could have joined PSG after deciding to leave Real Madrid.

After winning his fifth Champions League, on May 26, 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo decided to leave Real Madrid. Several destinations were then available to him.

And Paris Saint-Germain was one of the very serious options for the Portuguese international, who was then 33 years old. At least, that’s what Patrice Evra revealed on RMC.

> "Has Cristiano ever wanted to come to PSG? Yes. This was before he signed for Juventus. He had Chelsea, Juventus and Paris. He said he would never go to Arsenal. And he was interested in the Parisian project," revealed the man who was “CR7’s” teammate for several seasons at Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo finally opted for Juve

At the time, the capital club already had Neymar and Kylian Mbappé among its squad. Qatari leaders wanted to strike another blow to gain power in Europe. Which they will finally do in 2021 by landing the signature of Lionel Messi.

Discussions took place between Jorge Mendes, Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent, and Nasser al-Khelaïfi, the president of the Rouge et Bleu. Upon arrival, the five-time Ballon d’Or will join Serie A rather than Ligue 1, opting for the “Old Lady”.
