Barcelona refused CR7 transfer in 2003 because of Ronaldinho

The duo has rewritten history books over the years, marking goals with incredible numbers, as they triumphed 11 times in the competition for Golden Top, Periscope broadcasts.

Their sports rivalry has defined a generation, so much so that any other active and non-active footballer has been asked to choose his favorite between the two.

However, things could have gone differently, since Barcelona had the opportunity to play Ronald with Mess in 2003.

If they had, the football world would now clearly look different.

But why Barcelona refused to transfer Ronaldo when they could do it for a $2 million less than Manchester United paid for him.

Well, because of Ronaldinho. Bleugrans believed they didn't need to add side-field options to the team because they were already preparing for the arrival of the Brazilian from Paris Saint-Germain.

This, according to former Barca President Joan Laporta, the man who is currently the favourite to become president of the club in the election.

” We were ready to transfer Ronaldinho and Rafa Marquezin,” said Laporta.

Marquez's” People proposed Cristiano Ronaldon. He was in Sporting at the time. One of his agents said they had a player who would be sold to Manchester United for 19 million euros, but we would be sold for 17 million.

But we had already invested in Ronaldinho. Cristiano played more side by side than in the center. We thought we were covered in that part, so we refused and I didn't repent. ”

Wow. Ronaldo and Messy on the same team? The hypothetical dream. /Periscope. com/
