Georgina Rodriguez has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo never had any intention of signing for Atletico Madrid before his record-breaking move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.
The 29-year-old made a rare revelation about the inside world of her partner’s footballing career during her first-ever TV interview on Wednesday night ahead of the second series of her new Netflix show called 'I Am Georgina' due out on Friday. Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo, 38, was repeatedly linked to the LaLiga side last summer as he looked to secure a move that would give him Champions League football.
Reports at the time said Atletico Madrid were willing to offer Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata to the Premier League side in exchange for the Portuguese captain. Supporters of the Spanish side reacted by releasing a statement opposing a deal and held up anti-Ronaldo banners during a friendly match in an attempt to quash any potential deal.
