It has been revealed why Antonio Conte and Daniel Levy decided against signing Cristiano Ronaldo last year. The 38-year-old striker parted company with Manchester United in November following an explosive TV interview with Piers Morgan.
The Red Devils were said to have been 'furious' after Ronaldo's attack of the club caught them by surprise, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner claiming that he felt betrayed. United reportedly sought legal advice and he was subsequently allowed to leave as a free agent.
Naturally, a handful of the world's richest clubs were linked with signing Ronaldo. And, according to the Daily Mail, Tottenham contemplated bringing the Portugal international to north London before eventually deciding against a move.
