Real Sociedad striker Isak: I turned down Real Madrid

Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak has revealed he could've joined Real Madrid earlier in his career.

The Swede moved to La Real this summer from Borussia Dortmund.

He recalled to Marca: "When I played in Stockholm, I had several options and Real Madrid was one of them.

"I spoke to several clubs to understand what they proposed and I chose Dortmund and this is the most important thing.

"But it is true that since I was a child, I considered the LaLiga the best in the world and I dreamed of playing here one day. I am therefore happy to participate."
