He told the Stick to Football podcast: "Honestly, if you look at all the players who are leaving, this is exactly what I said. Only now there is a different coach...
"Real Madrid can spend 600 million and Celta 60.
"My wife is from Ourense. I spoke with the president and his daughter, we could count on Luis Campos as an external consultant and he could bring us players from PSG or any other team. I thought two years would be enough to get closer to Europe and in the third we would play European competitions.
"Then I would decide whether to return to England with my family."
