Zagreb's "Dinamo" talent Ante Čorić insists that he rejected offers from "Real" Madrid and "Chelsea" in order to stay in Croatia.
The 18-year-old is considered one of the brightest talents in Europe and is attracting interest from several top clubs on the continent, but according to various reports, the two mentioned clubs are showing the most attention to him.
Last November, the midfielder said he wanted to leave, but now it seems he has changed his mind.
"I am very happy that 'Chelsea' and 'Real' Madrid are interested in me, but I know that I wouldn't play there," Čorić told 24sata. "They would probably lend me to a weaker club in a weaker league."
"So, staying here is the best decision."
The young talent also mentioned that he was promised more playing time.
"I just want to be treated better, and I was promised that," added Čorić. "I know that I will play more now, I will be one of the main players, which is most important to me."
"If the fans support me, I could stay at 'Dinamo' for my entire career. This is my club."
