According to El Nacional, Lionel Messi reportedly vowed to quit Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) if they acquired Cristiano Ronaldo. After the star's shocking declaration that he would be leaving Manchester United, his services have been sought after by other clubs in Europe.
PSG is one of the teams reported in relation to a transfer for the Portuguese star.
Sporting animosity between the two players has endured for years, and Lionel Messi supposedly wants to keep it that way. If the Parisians sign Cristiano Ronaldo, the star reportedly vowed to quit the team and go back to Barcelona. The club's response to Messi's alleged threats is still up in the air.
Could Cristiano Ronaldo help Lionel Messi's situation in Paris, where he is having trouble?
Messi transferred to the Parisian giants as Barcelona was unable to pay his salaries, but the star underperformed, particularly in Ligue 1. Despite being PSG's playmaker, he did not score as many goals as in previous seasons.
Despite Lionel Messi's incredible play, the team's performance in the Champions League saw them lose to Real Madrid in the Round of 16 and ultimately be eliminated. He was expected to have synergy with Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, but most of it was only on paper.
The leadership thought about signing Cristiano Ronaldo since there were questions regarding Mbappe's future in Paris. The France international, though, rejected Real Madrid and opted to stay longer at Parc des Princes. The Manchester United player may yet be able to give the Parisian team new life, particularly in the Champions League, where they have a history of failure.
For the Parisian giants, the opportunity to team up with arguably the two best athletes in the world might be too alluring. The popularity of French Ligue 1 will also increase, and this may be a positive development for all of French football. The club, however, will carefully consider its next course of action before taking any action. Nevertheless, everything is still possible while the transfer window remains open. Additionally, rumors have suggested that Ronaldo would join Premier League rivals Chelsea.
