Former Barcelona President: The Inter stole Ronaldo from us as we celebrated his renovation.

Former Barcelona President Joan Gaspart has discovered the strange circumstances of Brazilian star Ronaldo's decision that Camp Nou left to join Inter.

Although he had stressed his desire to stay at Barcelona, Ronaldo left Spanish giants for a record 24mm euros in 1997.

Recalling the transfer, Gaspart has discovered his interesting circumstances, with Ronaldo accepting the Serie A club contract while Barcelona's chairman was celebrating the renovation of the attacker's new contract.

“Ranaldo wanted to stay at Barcelona, he was happy and wanted to renew,” says Gaspart for Goal.

We had printed the contract before the player and his two agents”.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon and we decided to go to something to celebrate Ronaldo's renovation, and then return to the office to sign the deal we had reached”, he continued.

But leaving for lunch was a mistake because if we hadn't left he would have signed the new contract in our presence and stayed at Barcelona”.

His “Agents wanted more money and were trying to derail the talks. We managed to fix five points of the contract, but they always added more disappointment to”.

Then the agents told me they had a better offer and that they would join Inter”, Gaspart concluded. /Periscopi/
