Diego Godin Reveals the Reasons for not Joining Manchester United

DBasia.news –   Inter Milan’s new defender, Diego Godin, revealed the reason for refusing an offer to join Manchester United last year. Godin admitted that at that time he was still bound by a contract with Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United have been very serious about hunting Diego Godin in the 2018 summer transfer market. At that time, Jose Mourinho, who was still a manager, stated that Godin was the right player at the back. The Uruguayan national team player has proven his experience and abilities.

However, Diego Godin rejected Manchester United’s offer and preferred to stay. In addition, he also brushed aside the offer of Juventus and Manchester City.

“it is true, one year ago there was an offer from Juventus, Manchester United, and also Manchester City. However, at that time I had a contract with Atletico,” said Godin as proclaimed by Gazzetta dello Sport.

Diego Godin explained, Inter Milan came at the right time. Godin was also amazed by the seriousness of La Beneamata to get him.

“I did not think to leave at that time. At the moment, leaving to Inter is something different. I have approached the end of the contract,” continued the player.

“I can say that there is no club that has convinced me more than Inter Milan. They met me for the first time with confidence compared to other clubs. They have ambitious projects, like me.”

Diego Godin wants to repay Inter Milan’s confidence with a fine performance on the pitch. “I like being part of that idea and can help Inter Milan make it happen,” he added.
