He is crazy, the player who dared to reject Real Madrid and surprises

Pau Torres, the very talented 26-year-old defender, recently told details about the reasons why he did not leave for Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 in a recent interview. Despite the negotiations, Pau Torres stated that he would never rule out the possibility of playing for a team of the stature of Real Madrid or Barcelona. However, he explained that the reason why he did not join the white club was the opportunity that Madrid had at that time to sign David Alaba for free.

"There were conversations, but finally Madrid had a market option that was very good, which was to bring Alaba free," Pau Torres told the Relevo teammates. He added that finding players of Alaba's quality available for free is a rarity in football, and at the time, circumstances did not align for his move to Real Madrid to be a reality. Despite this, the Spanish player maintained a positive outlook, continuing his work and pursuing his dreams.

Pau Torres stated that his priority at the moment is Aston Villa and that his current dream is to win a trophy with the team. "No, it would be a dream to win a title with Aston Villa. That would be the next dream," said the central defender. His focus is on making Aston Villa a winning club and elevating it to where it deserves to be.

Pau Torres' adaptation to England was also an issue discussed in the interview. He said that, together with his wife Paula, they are facing personal challenges by living in a different country and learning about a new culture. However, they see this experience as an opportunity to grow as people and strengthen their relationship. Pau Torres expressed his joy for his personal and professional progress, highlighting his role at Aston Villa and his return to the Spanish National Team.

Milan wants a player from Real Madrid

Milan urgently needs a centre-back after suffering two losses in that position so far this season. Kalulu and Pellegrino have been seriously injured, so they will be away from the playing fields for several months. The Rossoneri have thought about a player who has been around for a long time and who would be a great improvement for their squad, Nacho Fernández.
