Few players get the chance to play for Real Madrid and even less luxury to reject a move to the Spanish capital.
The incredible domestic and UEFA Champions League success of Los Blancos has enabled the club to attract some of the world's largest players to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
However, they did not succeed in securing every transfer target that appeared on their radar, especially when they were looking for star players of the Premier League and Serie A.
Former Italy International and AS Roma legend Francesco Totti has opened several offers that landed from Madrid and why he rejected them.
“Everyone knows that the fans of Roma are different from any other fan base in Italy or Europe,” Corriere Dello Sport.
“I experienced something unique in Rome. I was crowned in this city, that was possible because of the fans. They gave me so much.
“During my career I had the opportunity to play for other teams, both in Italy and abroad. Especially with Real Madrid, where a transfer was very, very close.
“It was not a matter of weakness. It was a matter of love. I chose my heart, which is always dedicated to Roma, to the love I felt for these colors, for this shirt.”
Totti's dedication to Roma is illustrated by a few stunning figures for the man of one club.
The 48-year-old scored a shameful 307 goals in 786 performances in all competitions in a club career that extended over three decades from 1993 to 2017.
In 25 seasons in the Stadio Olimpico he won only one league title in 200/01 and two Coppa Italia -Kronen.
He is miles forward as Roma's top scorer and all-time performances maker.
250 Series A-objects puts him in second place on the list of all time, behind Silvia Piola [274]And he is third for Italian top matches at 619 behind the legendary former Italy teammates Paolo Maldini and Gianluigi Buffon.
