French superstar Zinedine Zidane has revealed that Juventus did not want to sell him to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Zidane commented on the deal while given evidence regarding the Calciopoli scandal involving former Juventus directors.
“The Juventus directors maintained a negative attitude regarding the move,” Zidane told La Stampa.
“The relationship between my agent Alain Migliaccio and the club started to crack.
“Then we spoke to one of Moggi’s solicitors D’Onofrio who had good relationships with Bettega, Giraudo and Moggi, and his intervention was the factor which determined the outcome.”
Zidane joined Real Madrid in 2001 for a world record transfer fee of around 52million euros.
