Agent: Nice management once "kidnapped" and threatened Evra to sign, trying to sell him to Barcelona

November 19th: French star Evra once played for Manchester United, Juventus and other giants, and his agent Federico Pastorello talked about Evra's past in an interview.

Evra won 5 Premier League titles and 1 Champions League title with Manchester United, and then won 3 Serie A titles with Juventus. However, Evra's career did not go well at the beginning of his career. When he was young, he played for the Monza club in Serie C, but was abandoned by Monza. Federico Pastorello first said: "The sporting director of Monza at the time said to me, 'I give you his transfer rights and take him away. Because he played a mess and I don't want to see him again.'"

Federico Pastorello then said: "I brought him to Nice, and the then coach Salvioni was a person who attached great importance to values ​​and discipline. Evra Because of the team's emergency situation, he played as a full-back and performed well. After that, he was named the best defender in Ligue 2, and I took him to Monaco coached by Deschamps, and then he went to Manchester United under Ferguson."

Federico Pastorello also revealed: "When Evra's contract with Nice was about to expire, I considered bringing him to Monaco, but the new management of the club wanted to. They tried everything to sell him. In fact, they almost kidnapped Evra: they forced him into a car and held him in a restaurant for several hours and almost threatened him to sign a contract. "We couldn't find him and couldn't get through to him," Federico Pastorello said in the end: "In the end he could only sign something, but luckily it was. They made the mistake of not asking Evra to sign all the copies of the contract that he was required to sign. When he was released, he cried. He was only 20 years old. Evra told me that they forced me to sign the contract and said that they wanted to sell me to Barcelona. I sent a colleague to pick him up and took him to Monte Carlo (Monaco). I did not dare to let him stay at home in Nice.
