AC Milan were reportedly presented with the chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.

AC Milan were reportedly presented with the chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.

The Portugal international was subject of transfer speculation throughout the summer after expressing a desire to leave Old Trafford in a bid to play Champions League football.

A number of Europe's biggest sides reportedly turned down the chance to sign Ronaldo despite his agent Jorge Mendes holding talks with Champions League clubs over a potential move.

According to The Sun, Mendes offered Milan the opportunity to sign Ronaldo in the latter stages of the transfer window.

Mendes reportedly attempted to secure Rafael Leao a move to Paris Saint-Germain or Chelsea in a bid to free up space for Ronaldo to join Milan.

However, Leao remained with the Serie A champions, while Ronaldo has had to settle for three starts in United's opening eight games across all competitions.
