In an exclusive interview,former Barca president Joan Gaspart reveals that the Brazilian was set to stay at Camp Nou until Massimo Moratti intervened
Former Barcelona president Joan Gaspart has revealed that Ronaldo was keen to stay at Barcelona prior to his blockbuster move to Inter, but decided on a transfer while Blaugrana club officials were out celebrating his renewal at dinner.
The Brazilian has gone down in history as one of the finest players ever to star at Camp Nou, despite spending just a single season with the Catalan club.
In the 1996-97 campaign, Ronaldo smashed an incredible 47 goals in 49 games in all competitions, making himself an instant favourite with fans following his move from PSV in the summer of 1996.
