As the two clubs prepare to meet in a crucial game in the battle for a top-four finish, Piers Morgan has urged the Gunners to make a move for the Manchester United striker.Due to Arsenal's poor form, Piers Morgan has called for the team to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, and the presenter attempted to build the groundwork in 2019.
On Saturday, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick for Manchester United against Norwich City, while Arsenal dropped points at Southampton. Morgan, a prominent Arsenal supporter, stated he was "deadly serious" when he said Mikel Arteta's team should make a move for the Portugal international.
When the two met in 2019, Morgan handed Ronaldo an Arsenal shirt and joked about using it to persuade him to join the club. At the time, the forward was still at Juventus. Ronaldo has subsequently returned to Real Madrid, where he won both domestic and European trophies during his time there.Ronaldo has since returned to Real Madrid, where he won domestic and European trophies during his first tenure, but he revealed that he was "extremely close" to joining Arsenal.Ronaldo admitted he was "one step" away from leaving Sporting CP for Arsenal. However, he became a United player after Sir Alex Ferguson intervened, and he went on to win the 2008 Champions League final with the Red Devils.
Morgan was greeted with laughs by Ronaldo during that 2019 interview, as he handed the player an Arsenal shirt with his name and number on the back. The 57-year-old stated, "This is what should have happened."
"It's everything I've ever wanted, yet it's not too late." Aubameyang, Lacazette, Pepe, and Ronaldo are all visible. He went on to say, "And you'd win everything." In reaction, Ronaldo stated that he will store the shirt "in a particular place.""All right, Piers, I'm so... I'd like to express my regret... "Please accept my apologies for not joining Arsenal," Ronaldo remarked in the interview. "It didn't happen, but I respect everything Arsenal did for me, especially Arsene Wenger, but football is like life in that you never know where you're going to play."
"However, I respect Arsenal because it is a magnificent club, and you are a fan of Arsenal." And now you're a Juventus fan."
Wenger, who was in charge of Arsenal when they originally considered signing Ronaldo, stated that the club believed a deal could be made before United got involved. "If we had been a few days faster, since we agreed and then Manchester United came in 5 or 6 days later," he told former Arsenal striker Ian Wright."On LADbible TV, he told former Arsenal striker Ian Wright."I could have signed [Cristiano] Ronaldo when I had Thierry - can you image what they could have done together?" Wenger has previously told FourFourTwo about his plans. That makes you sweat a little, and I was on the verge of doing it myself. I was under the impression that everything had been completed.
"[Holding his index finger and thumb within a centimetre of each other], it was that close. However, I believe that every club could tell you similar stories."
