DBasia.news – President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, was the reason David Silva failed to come to the Santiago Bernabeu from Valencia in 2010.
David Silva impressed at Valencia from 2006 to 2010. In that period, the player appeared in 166 matches with a record of 31 goals and 33 assists. In addition, he became a pedestal in the Spanish national team.
Not surprisingly, several European elite clubs are trying to get David Silva’s autograph. Real Madrid did not miss in the queue.
In an article published by The Athletic, Florentino Perez was reportedly fascinated by David Silva’s performance against Real Madrid. Thus, the president told his staff to be prepared to bring Silva who was then 24 years old.
“Bring the suitcase to the dressing room. Because next year David Silva will play with us,” said Perez.
However, at the end of the transfer stage, Real Madrid turned around. Florentino Perez took this step because he knew Silva’s attitude outside the field.
Reportedly, David Silva’s life was very close to liquor. Also, the former Eibar elementary school player likes to go to nightclubs.
In the end, David Silva headed for Manchester City with a fee of 28.75 million euros. Silva has announced that he will leave the Citizens at the end of this season.
So far, David Silva has won 12 trophies with Manchester City. These titles include the Premier League title, FA Cup, and English League Cup. Unfortunately, Silva has never won the Champions League.
