Argentina's Juan Sebastian Veron turned down a personal offer from new Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini to join the premier league team. He played two seasons under Mancini at Inter-Milan and left the club in 2007 to returned back to his childhood and family club Estudiantes.The two were also former team-mates at Sampdoria and Lazio.
The 34-year-old told radio station La Red that he was phoned by Mancini to make the offer. Veron's agent Miguel Pires went into detail about City's offer. "Veron said to me that he received a phone call from Manciniand that he had offered him 7 million pounds and the same to Estudiantes for a one-year contract," he revealed."In addition that amount would have been duplicated if he would have continued at Manchester City during 2011."
Rashy Cruz: I just don't understand what's wrong with Mancini,Veron has been a great performer for Argentina and a delight to watch when he plays.But Veron is also known as a player who couldn't adjust to the Premier League during his Big-Money move to Manchester United in 2001 and then to Chelsea where he still couldn't live up to the price tag and expectations of a player of his calibre. Luckily he had some sense and rejected the offer plus he's ageing,he's already 34!!,Gd on him and for heaven's sake Mancini, there are other players available,Open the Cheque book and start searching for them.
