Former Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran believes he should have joined Real Madrid when he had the chance as a teenager.
McEachran, a former England youth international, was lauded as a youngster, tipped to become one of the world's best.
"I was 16, at Chelsea, and my agent at the time said, 'Real Madrid want you'. It's unbelievable, isn't it? At that age," he told The Telegraph.
"I had the chance to go to Real Madrid or Man United. Real Madrid had the contract waiting for me and they wanted all my family to fly over but I said, 'No, I want to stay at Chelsea'. I was a Chelsea fan."
"I just believed in myself that I was going to make it. Under Carlo [Ancelotti, manager], when I made my debut I was like, saying to myself 'Ah, that was a good choice for me to say no to Real Madrid'.
"But looking back now maybe I should have."
