Inter Milan defender Diego Godin admits he had offers from Manchester United and Manchester City this summer.

Godin left Atletico Madrid this summer for Inter.

He revealed, “Inter came forward first and with more determination than other clubs. They outlined their project, which is ambitious, like me. I liked the idea of helping Inter make it happen.

“It's true, I received offers from Juventus, Manchester United, while in the past there was also Manchester City, but at that moment I had a contract with Atletico and wasn't thinking about leaving. This summer, my contract was running down.

“I can say that no other club managed to convince me the way Inter did. Plus my wife was born in Cagliari, she speaks Italian and is trying to help me learn. Her father is Pepe Herrera, who played at Cagliari with Enzo Francescoli, so we had long conversations about Serie A."
