WHEN REAL MADRID WANTED TO BUY ZINEDINE ZIDANE FROM JUVENTUS.

The year was 2001, and the Italian giants Juventus had earlier gone and purchased the young French play maker of Algerian ancestors Zinedine Zidane, from the French club Bordeaux. But when Real Madrid and their president wanted to buy Zinedine Zidane from Juventus, the then president of Juventus flatly said that Zinedine Zidane will not e sold by Juventus. But when money is shown or even offered things can change very fast you see, as the saying goes MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND. Real Madrid came forward with a mouth watering offer to Juventus it was a huge sum of 70, seventy million pounds or 66, sixty six million pounds, we are talking of a price for a footballer twenty years ago, it was not heard about. Juventus then sold Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid for 70, seventy million pounds. And the Galactico period had started at Real Madrid. Now Juventus had big money to spend, so they brought the Czech Republic captain ad play maker Pavel Nedved to replace Zinedine Zidane at Juventus.
