Marco van Ginkel wanted Chelsea STAY... but Torres and De Jong convinced
him to join Milan
By Nick Lustig / Published 3rd September 2014
.... "Van Ginkel initially resisted our advances. At a certain point we
set him an ultimatum, but then I realised he wouldn't join us like that
and I told him that I was joking," Galliani told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"It was not that he did not want to join Milan, but he is a huge talent
and he thought that he could become a starter at Chelsea.
"However, Jose Mourinho, who is a great coach, thought that playing for
Milan after eight months on the sidelines due to injury would be best for
him.
"We convinced him by using two players: De Jong spoke to him and then
Fernando Torres as well. Eventually, he agreed to a move."
