the lure of a move to Madrid, and remembers the time when
they offered him a contract:
“When Madrid come for you they make it almost impossible to
turn them down, and David Beckham would find himself in a
similar position. It wasn't about the money for me - except
that the fact that Madrid were prepared to pay that much
said something about how much they wanted me. I had great
times at Juventus during my five years in Italy, but when
the biggest club in the world want you in their side it is
the ultimate compliment. Madrid were never going to take no
for an answer. I was honoured that Madrid wanted me to wear
the famous white shirt - I just couldn't say no.”
