“Golovin had three specific proposals: Chelsea, Monaco and Juventus. The three clubs were ready to conclude an agreement, everything depended on the choice of Sasha. We met with Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici. Twice in Moscow we spoke with Marina Granovskaya, and Sasha himself even spoke on the phone with Abramovich.
Golovin’s agent called absurd rumors that the player refused to move to Borussia
Why in the end, “Monaco”? The adaptation period was shorter there. Akinfeev, Berezutsky and the others said: “San, you can play for both Chelsea and Juventus, but it’s better to start with Monaco, because it will be easier there.” Yet in the same England there would be more national problems. You had to go there right away with good English. Now Sasha speaks both English and French, but not everything was going so well,” the Championship agent quotes.
