Milan made an offer for Xavi
AC Milan have attempted to sign Barcelona playmaker Xavi Hernandez, according to the player’s mum.
The Spanish international was noticed by the Milan scouts while he was playing for Barcelona’s B side and Rossoneri chief Adriano Galliani contacted the player’s family to offer the player a chance to move to San Siro.
“Galliani came and put an offer on the table when Xavi played for Barcelona B, offering him a four-year contract,” Maria Merce Creus explained to TV Cuatro.
“At the time he had Pep Guardiola in front of him but, inside of me, I thought it would tear the family apart completely if he went.
“Besides, I always thought that, although it might be difficult, he would be a success at Barcelona.”
