CRISTIANO RONALDO was reportedly offered to both Inter Milan and AC Milan.
But both clubs are said to have snubbed the chance to sign the wantaway Manchester United star in a fresh blow.
Ronaldo, 37, continues to be linked with a transfer away from Old Trafford this summer.
He sat down for showdown talks with new boss Erik ten Hag and agent Jorge Mendes when he returned to Carrington last month.
Ronaldo wants to play Champions League football and compete for the top honours in the game – something not currently on offer with the shambles at United.

Inter boast Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko as strikers while Serie A champs AC have Ante Rebic, Olivier Giroud, Divock Origi and, when he returns from surgery, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Moves to Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Sporting Lisbon and Corinthians have all been reported but not come to fruition for Ronaldo this summer.
And so after being brought back in to start in the humiliation at Brentford on Saturday – with less than three weeks of the window remaining – it looks like he may be staying put after all.

The manager this week claimed Ronaldo has not actually told the club he wants to quit – but the hammering in West London will not have helped the situation at all.
