All the members of the club believed that they would bring Ronaldo and Messi to the team; The actor opened up

Messi and Ronaldo are legendary players in modern football history.
The great wish of most football fans in the world is that the two stars who have dominated world football for more than a decade play together in one team.

But former City player Pablo Zabaleta says when Manchester City was taken over by Arab businessmen, the whole club believed they would bring Messi and Ronaldo into the team.
Citigroup under the leadership of Sheikh Mansoor took over Man City after signing Zabaleta.

Argentina star Zabaleta is one of the players who has had a successful career at Citigroup under the new owners.
Pablo Zabaleta revealed in an interview with La Nation that since the arrival of the rich Arab man as the new owners, there have been regular discussions in the team’s dressing room about Messi and Ronaldo coming to City.

“I decided to go to England for a new experience. “I had decided to play in England for a few days and then go back to Spain or Italy,” said Zabaleta.

“Ten days after I arrived at the club, I learned that the club had been bought by a group from Abu Dhabi. And four days later, Robinho joined us for £40m,’ he added.

“After that I thought I’d be at the club for at least six months. We thought that Messi and Ronaldo would come to the club as substitutes,’ said Zabaleta.

In 2017, Messi was strongly linked with a £100 million move under Pep Guardiola.
There were rumors that City were trying to bring Ronaldo to the club in 2021. But due to the intervention of Sir Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo joined United.
