Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are widely considered to be the two best players of their generation, and ex-Manchester United star Patrice Evra has claimed they could've played together
Patrice Evra has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2018 – which could well have ruined his plans to return to Manchester United in 2021.
Evra told Rothen s'enflamme that Ronaldo was particularly drawn to the project at PSG, which boasted an impressive attacking lineup of Edinson Cavani, Neymar Jr and superstar Kylian Mbappe – who joined them from Monaco in 2018. It seems that Ronaldo, 39, ultimately chose not to pursue the PSG option and headed to Italy to play for Juventus instead. But the idea of him joining forces with the likes of Cavani, Neymar and Mbappe remains an intriguing 'what if' in the world of football transfers.
While there was once speculation about the possibility of Ronaldo and Messi playing together in Paris, the stars never aligned for these two football giants to pair up for PSG. *Free trial auto renews at £19.99 annually unless cancelled.
