Real Madrid star Robinho has revealed how he rejected a transfer to Juventus before moving to Spain.
The skilful attacker started his career with Santos and hit the headlines after forming a lethal partnership with fellow teenage star at the time, Diego.
He moved to Real Madrid in 2005, where after a slow start he has since exploded into life.
“I received an offer from Juventus but I was still very young,” Robinho revealed to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I was still 18-years-old and it was not the right time for me to leave Brazil.”
