In a recent appearance at the Festival dello Sport in Trento, former AC Milan and Roma defender Cafu shared insights into his transfer to the Rossoneri.

Speaking at the event, the Brazilian legend revealed, “After my time at Roma, I was supposed to join a Japanese team that had already deposited the money into my account.”

“I called them and said, ‘Guys, I have a small problem. Milan have called me.’ I went to Milan, and they were a bit upset with me,” Cafu admitted. His comments were reported by Calcio News 24.

“The Milan offer wasn’t as financially rewarding as the Japanese club’s, but such things happen; it was Milan,” added Cafu, reflecting on the decision he made.

Cafu’s candid remarks offer a fascinating glimpse into the complexities behind player transfers and the irresistible allure of prestigious clubs like AC Milan.
