Former Manchester United captain Antonio Valencia revealed he was close to signing with Real Madrid during his career but opted to remain at Old Trafford due to his family's happiness. Valencia, who spent a decade with Manchester United, won two Premier League titles and an FA Cup. He had a meeting with Real Madrid's management but prioritized his family's wishes, ultimately leading to his decision to stay at the club. He later moved to L.D.U. Quito and retired after playing in Mexico.
I had the opportunity to sign for Real Madrid, in fact, I had a meeting with a club manager. I loved the idea, but I've always thought about my family.
They told me they were happy in Manchester, so we decided to stay. Thank God I spent ten wonderful years at Manchester United.
