Chelsea star Meireles: I am not a Judas

New Chelsea star Raul Meireles has rejected claims he left Liverpool for money, insisting that he left for Stamford Bridge to win Premier League titles. Meireles left Liverpool on transfer deadline day for 12m GBP.

"These are things that happen in football. I can only say good things about Liverpool, it was a fantastic year," Meireles told RTPN.

"People think I am a Judas and that it was because of the money. It was not because of that, I will explain it later, things are still fresh.

"It all happened very fast. I am not the only one to blame for my exit from Liverpool, but I will never stop loving the club and I have great friends there."
