Real Madrid director Pedrag Mijatovic has revealed they were scared
off signing Michael Ballack by Chelsea being too keen to
sell.
Mijatovic insists Ballacks proposed move to the Bernabeu was
scrapped because the players agent demanded a massive £1m
commission.
But the Real director also insists his suspicions were raised about
Ballack, 31, because Chelsea did not offer any resistance to losing
the German.
Mijatovic said: We were interested in Ballack even though hes
still injured. But the way Chelsea made everything so easy for us
scared me.
In the summer we couldnt reach a financial agreement with his
agent because of what he wanted to earn £1m.
