— Says He Still Has a Soft Spot for the Gunners
Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he once came close to signing for Arsenal before his iconic move to Manchester United changed football history.
In a candid conversation with Piers Morgan Uncensored, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said, “It’s a true story. I was close to joining Arsenal many years ago… but it’s the past.”
Ronaldo went on to express his admiration for the North London club, admitting he still has a fondness for them. “Honestly, when I look at Arsenal, I’m always looking at them not like a rival. I like the team, I like them!” he said with a smile.
The revelation has reignited long-standing “what if” debates among football fans — imagining how different Premier League history might have been if Ronaldo had donned Arsenal’s red and white instead of United’s red and gold.
