Ronaldo is currently looking for a new club, with rumors suggesting he could move to Saudi Arabia. Despite missing out on the move to Paris, the 37-year-old striker has enjoyed a successful career at clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) almost met in 2019, according to the former head of foreign football at France Football, Thierry Marchand.
When Marchand asked Ronaldo if he would come to Paris, the striker’s response was clear (via Le10 Sport):
”The club could fill the stadium with Portuguese from the Paris region. I see myself well at the Parc des Princes, in front of fifty thousand Portuguese. That would be great.”
“If Nasser Al-Khelaïfi had been in the room that evening, he would have had only a piece of paper to hand to him to make him a PSG striker. It was too easy, almost unreal. For five minutes, CR7 boasted to me of the charms of the Parisian club as probably none of its leaders would have been able to do.”
It is unclear whether Ronaldo would still be interested in joining the team at this point, or if PSG would even have the room to bring him on board.
