Bayern President States Bundesliga Giants Wouldn't Have Paid €100m for Cristiano Ronaldo

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have revealed that they wouldn't have paid €100m to sign Cristiano Ronaldo last summer.

The Portuguese forward joined Juventus from Real Madrid after a nine year spell in the Spanish capital in which he won the Champions League four times and two La Liga titles. Ronaldo cemented himself as one of the greatest players of all time during his career in Madrid, but continued disagreements with Florentino Perez meant he would leave the club under somewhat of a cloud.

However, Bayern president Uli Hoeness has admitted that the Bundesliga side wouldn't have made a move for Ronaldo in the summer, due to the price.
