Agent Claims That Man City AND Real Madrid Wanted Marco Borriello On Deadline Day
By Chris Wright
BOTH Manchester City and Real Madrid were in the hunt for former AC Milan striker Marco Borriello on transfer deadline day, according to his agent Tiberio Cavalleri;
“It could have ended differently. On Monday, I had a call from [Manchester City coach] Roberto Mancini saying he wanted [Borriello] to go to Manchester City.
“On Tuesday, Real Madrid made an approach but then [Karim] Benzema said no to a move to Marseille and that’s when Roma came into the picture.”
Given the other more lucrative options, it’s perhaps fairly surprising that Borreillo opted to join Roma on a season-long loan deal after turning down a similar offer from Juventus, but it would seem that two of Europe’s biggest spending clubs just weren’t able to prise the often-average forward away from his homeland with their promises of infinite riches.
Once again, hmmm.
