And according to Gian Piero Gasperini, the coach of Atalanta, he tried to get ahead of the Red Devils for CR7, without success. While Juventus has completely missed out on its 2020-2021 season, Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to take off. Indeed, CR7 packed his bags during the last summer transfer window to make his return to Manchester United.

We don't know each other well, but great players fascinate me. I cannot be negative against them, even when they are adversaries. I was lucky to have important players like Zapata now. But having a player like (Cristiano) Ronaldo up front would have been great for me, of course. Even if it's only for a month (laughs).
