Pellegatti: Jorge Mendes offered Cristiano Ronaldo to Milan – the background and response | OneFootball

Italian journalist Carlo Pellegatti has explained the background behind the supposed links between Cristiano Ronaldo and AC Milan this summer.

Pellegatti has made a YouTube video (via Pianeta Milan) in which he breaks down where the links came from and why there is no credence in the idea that Ronaldo will be lining up in a Rossoneri shirt any time soon.

Jorge Mendes is the agent of Ronaldo, and that is also the case for Rafael Leao. That means he has a working relationship with the Rossoneri already.

Mendes proposed Manchester United’s Ronaldo to Milan as well as Inter and other sides. Pellegatti explained that offering a player of Ronaldo’s age to Milan, along with the demanded salary, makes very little sense.

Milan’s response was a very predictable no and Pellegatti continued to point out that the Rossoneri are much less willing to listen to proposals for players who are in their 30s as they are trying to gradually lower the age of the squad.
