I rejected Real Madrid on several occasions – Barcelona striker reveals

Ferran Torres, a Barcelona striker, has confessed that he turned down Real Madrid before joining the Catalan giants.

Ferran was on the shortlist of strikers to replace Karim Benzema, but a trade that would have given him his first champions league trophy fell through.
