Moggi: Juventus had Ronaldo deal before Man Utd swooped in

Former Juventus sports chief Luciano Moggi has again spoken of missing out on Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Moggi told Radio Sportiva about his biggest regret during his career as director general.

"I was working at Juventus and we already had Cristiano Ronaldo when he was 17. Unfortunately, Marcelo Salas refused the transfer to Sporting Lisbon in exchange.

"Manchester United then turned up with €35m and the whole negotiation process collapsed."
