Former General Manager of Milan, Marco Fassone, said that Rossoneri President Yunhong Li wanted to sign Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer of 2017.
"It is true that Yunhong Lee wanted to see Ronaldo in Milan. He believed that Cristiano had a huge influence on the Chinese market, "said Fassone.
"In July 2017, we met with agent Jorge Mendes to find out the cost and availability of Ronaldo.
And although Kirishtianu wanted to leave Real, we had to abandon this dream - it turned out to be too expensive for us ".
Last summer, Ronaldo moved to Juventus for 100 million euros. This season, the 33-year-old Portuguese scored nine goals and gave five assists in 15 matches in all tournaments.
