Liverpool's former player Cice was interviewed by the media, saying that before joining Liverpool, he was very close to joining Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Cice said: "I was close to joining Barcelona or Real Madrid in the summer of 2004, but in the end I rejected their offer and chose Liverpool."
"I scored 26 goals in Ausselle the previous season. There were many teams who wanted to sign me that year, and I was very eager to join Liverpool. I had made a promise with Liverpool, and I didn't want to break my promise. "
" Of course, it would be great if I could play alongside those talented players at Barcelona or Real Madrid, but at that time I had a positive conversation with Liverpool and was very happy that I could join Liverpool. "
" Liverpool is a great club, and the second year after joining Istanbul Night was one of the most wonderful nights in my career, so I was very satisfied with the decision I made."
