Pascal Ferré, former head of France Football and organizer of the Ballon d’Or, revealed Cristiano Ronaldo once harbored a dream of playing for Paris Saint-Germain. Ferré recounted a dinner in 2016, following Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or win, where the then-Real Madrid star confessed his desire to play at the Parc des Princes in a PSG shirt, cheered by 50,000 Portuguese fans. Ferré suggested that despite a jokey tone, there was truth to Ronaldo's statement, implying he wouldn't have rejected a future approach from the French club. This revelation contrasts sharply with Ronaldo's recent criticisms of France's top flight. Since joining Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo has publicly stated that the Saudi League is superior to Ligue 1, claiming only Paris Saint-Germain is a significant team in France.
