"I immediately felt at home, everyone gave me a warm welcome.
"Guti was cool with me straight away, and he was the man in Madrid, a legend."

The former Blancos man signed for the Spanish club from Dutch giant Feyenoord when he was 20, but he admitted that there were a lot of clubs interested in landing him. He added;
"At the time, I heard that 16 clubs were interested in me," he explained.
"I spoke with Barcelona president Joan Laporta, as well as Real Madrid's director Predrag Mijatović.
"It felt like I met with almost every high-ranking official at every club, most of them offered me a five-year contract with more or less the same conditions, but as soon as I heard Real Madrid were interested, my mind was made up."
