The current summer transfer market was crazy in general and for Cristiano Ronaldo in particular, as leaks broadcast by Radio Catalunya revealed that Barcelona was one of the clubs that Ronaldo offered himself, but he was immediately rejected.
The Spanish newspapers quoted leaks saying that Ronaldo made the decision to leave Juventus this summer, and that his agent and Portuguese compatriot Jorge Mendes set out to market him to some major clubs, including what he revealed previously, most notably his former team Real Madrid, who also rejected him.
Real Madrid refused to pay Mendes to offer Ronaldo to join its rival Barcelona, but given his huge history with the royal and being the team's historical top scorer and it is difficult to end up in his historical rival, Barcelona did not hesitate to reject the offer immediately.
The leaks confirmed that Barcelona refused to pay him to transfer the offer to Manchester City, who had already agreed, but Manchester United intervened in the last hours and persuaded Ronaldo to stop moving to his rival as well and return to Old Trafford.
