“He was even offered to us.
The use of the word "even" by Axel Hellmann, CEO of Eintracht Frankfurt, at the microphone of DAZN, reflects the difficulties encountered by the clan of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Since the termination of his contract with Manchester United at the start of the World Cup, the Portuguese has not found a base in Europe.
However, it is not for lack of trying, according to Philip Holzer.
"I have the feeling that it has been offered to all the clubs in the Champions League", explained the chairman of the supervisory board of Eintracht, still on DAZN.
Cristiano Ronaldo was linked with Eintracht Frankfurt a few months ago.

This summer, many rumors sent the fivefold Golden Ball to the four corners of Europe without it leaving the Red Devils.
According to information from many media, especially Portuguese and Spanish, Ronaldo's main lead in his quest for a new team would now lead to Saudi Arabia.
The Iberian daily Marca even reports that an agreement between the ex-Real Madrid star and the Al-Nassr club "could be formalized in the coming hours".
Marca evokes a contract which would send Ronaldo to Riyadh, the Saudi capital, until 2030. The career of the Portuguese would take a surprising turn, while he has always demonstrated an exceptional competitive temperament and a permanent thirst for records.
Nevertheless, CR7 has been struggling since the start of the season.
More often on the bench than on the lawn with Manchester, he also completed the World Cup in a substitute role with the Portuguese selection.
