Rabbi Matondo has revealed that there was interest from the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham before he joined Manchester City back in 2016 but insisted that the Premier League champions' persistence ultimately convinced him to make the move.
The Wales international, who now plays for Schalke, was snapped up by City from Cardiff back in 2016 although didn't make a senior appearance for Pep Guardiola's side before heading to Germany in 2019.
And despite not initially being convinced over a switch to Manchester, Matondo has revealed that his family were so impressed by the youth system at the club that they advised him he'd be crazy not to join City.
