REVEALED: Why PSG did not compete with Juventus for Ronaldo signing

PSG were reluctant to sign Cristiano Ronaldo last summer over concerns about Real Madrid's transfer tactics. According to El Mundo, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was keen on signing the Portugal captain, though his advisers warned him to be wary of a hostile response from Real. Indeed, when PSG made their approach to Real for Ronaldo, they were eager to delay any negotiations until deadline day. A source explained: "If we were to recruit him, it would have to be done on the last day of the transfer window, August 31, to leave no chance for Real Madrid to attack Neymar or Kylian Mbappé."
