Leicester City.
sporting director
Hasan Salihamidzic
revealed a conversation he had with Ronaldo's super-agent,
Jorge Mendes. He told Germany's
Sky Sport:
"I often talk to Jorge Mendes. Yes, we spoke.
"Ronaldo is an incredibly big personality. A big player who has made his mark on the world of football in recent years.
"It wasn't an option for us because we were doing other things and before that we organised our attack in such a way.
"But you don't have to feel sorry for him. He's a great footballer who has achieved great things in recent years."
With
Robert Lewandowskimoving to Barcelona, Bayern was linked with a move for England captain
Harry Kane. Salihamidzic added:
"It's too early to talk about it.
"If you look at our attack now: we have eight players for four positions. If you look at the training sessions, it's great fun to watch.
"Some training games are better than Bundesliga games. That's why it's much too early to talk about it. The way we played offensively and scored so many goals, I'm very happy about that."
