Napoli's flamboyant president Aurelio de Laurentiis has revealed he turned down the chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.

Ronaldo left Real Madrid for Juve in a €112m deal last week.

And De Laurentiis told : "Ronaldo had also been proposed to Napoli, I contacted his attorney, (Jorge) Mendes, we also formulated our offer and we would have paid CR7 with the percentages from the subsequent merchandising guaranteed by his arrival.

"The €350 million that will be invested by Juventus is beyond our reach, we would have risked pushing the club towards the bankruptcy."
