Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has joined team owner Aurelio De Laurentiis in saying Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo was also offered to the Partenopei in summer.
Speaking to Sky Italia (h/t Football Italia), the director said agent Jorge Mendes approached Napoli, but a look at the numbers involved in the deal made it clear the Partenopei could not afford the Portugal international:
"He was offered to us, it's true.
"We have a good relationship with [agent Jorge] Mendes, and since [Faouzi] Ghoulam's renewal we speak often.
"He offered him to De Laurentiis and to me, I stayed silent.
