Patrice Evra Reveals Cristiano Ronaldo Snubbed Arsenal and Turned Down PSG & Chelsea Before Joining Juventus
Patrice Evra has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo would "never" join Arsenal and turned down opportunities to move to the Gunners, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain before opting for Juventus in 2018.
What Happened?
The former Manchester United defender revealed that Ronaldo considered several offers, including one from PSG, before leaving Real Madrid for Juventus. However, Evra insists that the Portuguese star dismissed the idea of joining Arsenal outright.
Speaking to RMC Sport, Evra said:
"Has Cristiano ever wanted to come to PSG? Yes. There was Paris, Arsenal... That was before he signed for Juventus (in 2018). He had Chelsea, Juventus, Paris. He said he would never go to Arsenal. He was interested in the Parisian project. You can criticize Cristiano, but he would have adapted. Look at what he is doing in Saudi Arabia. He is a Saudi!"
The Bigger Picture
Ronaldo's illustrious career has seen him play for some of football's biggest clubs, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, earning countless accolades along the way. Now at 39, the Al-Nassr star has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players in history, regardless of the clubs he chose not to join.
What’s Next?
While Patrice Evra enjoys retirement, Ronaldo is currently on a mid-season break and will return to action with Al-Nassr in early 2025, continuing to thrive in the Saudi Pro League.
