Pirlo

Pirlo "almost joined Chelsea"

19 November 2012 - 07:50

Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has sensationally revealed that he very nearly joined Chelsea three years ago, when Carlo Ancelotti was in charge at Stamford Bridge.

  • Man Utd star could be fit for the FA Cup final
  • Man Utd favourites to sign English star ahead of Real Madrid

  • Pirlo is widely regarded as one of the greatest playmakers to play in Serie A, and as exclusively revealed to the Daily Mail, the Italian very nearly joined Chelsea: 



    ‘I had already started negotiating with the people at Chelsea but then finally Milan didn’t let me go. That’s why I stayed.





    ‘Certainly it would have been a different experience that I’d have liked, especially when I was 30 years old. So why not? But unfortunately it didn’t happen.’
