"Newcastle" attacker A.Perez: I refused the opportunity to play for "Real" or "Barcelona" club

During the summer, striker Ayoze Perez, who arrived at the "Newcastle United" club, claims that he had received offers from the "Real" and "Barcelona" clubs in Madrid.

According to A. Perez, there were many other clubs that wanted to sign him, but "Newcastle" showed the most interest and therefore he decided to move to England.

"Yes, "Barcelona" and "Real" were interested in me," confirmed the striker. "The truth is that "Newcastle" showed the most interest and attention."

"It was hard for me to turn down their offer, because I felt valued by this club. We considered many possibilities before finally deciding to choose "Newcastle".

I always liked the Premier League, but the main reason I came here is the respect shown to me by "Newcastle"," concluded the young footballer.

This season, in the ranks of the "Magpies", A. Perez played 10 matches and scored one goal.
