Paolo Maldini : Arsenal, Manchester United Wanted To Sign Me
AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini has revealed that he turned down offers from Manchester United and Arsenal during his playing career.
The 44 year old former Italian international centre back played out his entire time with Milan.
“Juventus wanted me, while Gianluca Vialli called me to Chelsea in 1996, but I preferred to stay with Milan to recover from a disastrous year. It was the right choice. Arsenal made an economic offer and there was also a request from Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
“The truth is that most of these offers coincided with terrible seasons for Milan. It probably would’ve been easier to accept, but those of us in the foundations of the team took our responsibility and preferred to stay so we could turn the situation around.”
