Wilfried Bony admits he had two offers on the table ahead of leaving Swansea City for Manchester City.
Bony was linked with the likes of Liverpool and Real Madrid before agreeing to join City last week.
"I think so," he told Sky Sports when asked if City was the only offered he considered.
"I don't know if I should have chosen the other one. I think this is the best club for me."
Bony also remarked: "Yeah, he [Manuel Pellegrini] talked to me [and said] 'I really need you here, you will be part of our project. I hope you will enjoy it here and I think it's the right way for you to get one step more in your career and your life. I think you will enjoy here.'
"It's [the Champions League] a competition that I didn't play yet. I really want to feel it, I really want to enjoy it. I want to be in the action, not just to see every time on the TV. It's good motivation for me."
