“Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to join Arsenal, reveals close confidant Piers Morgan”

At least since the famous interview that sealed Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United at the end of 2022, Piers Morgan has been considered a close confidant of the Portuguese football superstar. Now the English star journalist reveals: CR7 actually wanted to switch to Arsenal at the time, Premier League leaders, in winter.

Piers Morgan actually only shared a wish list for Arsenal on Twitter. The renowned star journalist is a self-confessed fan of the Gunners, who have been at the top of the Premier League for a long time this season.

With Min-jae Kim, Moisés Caicedo, Declan Rice, Kaoru Mitoma, Victor Osimhen and Dusan Vlahovic, Morgan made six suggestions for reinforcements that he believes are necessary for Arsenal to play for the championship next season. When a Twitter user asked him where Cristiano Ronaldo went on his tally, Morgan revealed a juicy detail.

“Have fun but if we had signed Ronaldo for the end of the season after he left United – which he was interested in by the way – we would have won the league,” Morgan clarified.

Did Ronaldo want to join Arsenal? “He knows how to win big trophies”

Ronaldo knows “how to win big trophies and how to score goals when it matters,” added the 58-year-old. However, Morgan did not make known why Ronaldo’s move to Arsenal failed. Possibly dear money. CR7 has not yet made a statement on this.

Morgan and Ronaldo have had a close relationship for a number of years. By far the biggest headlines were generated by a two-hour interview between the two on Morgan’s show “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on British broadcaster “Talk TV” at the end of November.

CR7 sharply criticized his then employer Manchester United. Among other things, the 38-year-old Portuguese United coach Erik ten Hag denied the ability to be a real coach.

Shortly after the interview, Ronaldo and ManUnited ended their contractual relationship. A few days later, CR7 signed up with Al-Nassr FC in Saudi Arabia. Arsenal slipped to second after winning the Autumn Championship in the back series. Manchester City can secure their third consecutive championship with a home win against Chelsea on Sunday.
