Honestly, it wasn’t easy to leave Real Madrid, because I spent 13 years there – almost half of my life – in one club and one city. It truly wasn’t easy to walk away.”
“It was one of the best periods of my life. I arrived in Madrid relatively late, at the age of 27, but at the right moment. I was ready for that step.”
“My four years in England helped me a lot. Everything I experienced and achieved in Madrid still feels unreal to me.”
“I think I have now joined a club that, in terms of reputation and history, is very close to Real Madrid.”
“For me, this is the ideal situation I could have hoped for. Especially because I love Milan, and as a child, I grew up with Italian football.”
“Milan was the club I loved the most. When the Milan option appeared, for me, it was the right one.”
