Joan Laporta has refused to deny claims that Barcelona were offered the chance to sign wantaway Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has made it clear that he wishes to leave Old Trafford this summer in search of Champions League football. That is something that Barca are able to offer, with the La Liga giants at one point considered one of his potential destinations.
Instead though, the Catalan side brought in Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich and Raphinha from Leeds to boost their attack. That all but sank a possible move for Ronaldo, who remains at the Red Devils despite his demands to be allowed to depart.
