The legendary Italian defender Alessandro Nesta shared how his departure from Lazio happened in 2002, and that at the time, Milan was not his first choice.
Alessandro Nesta, Getty Images’The first six months I was in a terrible state because I didn’t want to be in Milan. I missed everything, I missed Rome. We Romans are quite closed people. Just think — a few months earlier, Juventus approached me, but honestly, I didn’t want to go there. Then that transfer failed, and I had to move to Inter.
After May 5th, Inter disappeared for me. I didn’t want to go to Milan because I thought Inter would win the next year — I was sure of it. Instead, we won the Champions League in my first season,' MilanNews24 quotes Nesta.
