Robben says Real wouldn’t sell to Barca

September 3, 2009

It looked like one of the many false rumours that dominated the transfer window but Barcelona was truly interested in Arjen Robben.

`There was some interest from Barca but I think a transfer was impossible,` Robben said to FC Groningen TV.

The Dutch winger, that moved to Bayern Munchen instead, thinks his former club would`ve never sold him to arch-rival Barcelona.

Spanish media already reported that Robben had a clause in his contract with Madrid that prevented him to sign for another Spanish club.

The Dutch international was glad to leave Real after two years: `At Madrid, everything is politics. Every coach has to do what the president tells him to do and I couldn`t stand it any longer.`

`I don`t want to say too much about it but on the outside Real looks great and magical but on the inside it`s a lot less exciting,` the 26-year old concluded.
