Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas has revealed that he came very close to signing for Real Madrid, saying he even discussed terms at some point with the La Liga giants.
Speaking to Marca's Jose Felix Diaz, the former Barcelona man said the sage went on for several years. When asked about Los Blancos' interest, he said: “Well, there was contact with different presidents over the space of several years, but no deal was ever struck. We discussed terms, but nothing final was ever agreed. That decisive step was never taken.
