| Adama Traore admits he rejected the chance to join Bayern Munich |
ADAMA TRAORE admits he turned down the chance to join German champions Bayern Munich to join Aston Villa.
The Spain Under-19 international arrived at Villa this summer for £7.1million from Barcelona, where he managed just four senior appearances.
The 19-year-old also had the chance to follow former boss Pep Guardiola at Bayern, but admits he opted for Villa Park for regular game time.
“There were details that made me decide on Villa," Traore said. "Bayern is a great club but it would be difficult to play.
“I’m grateful to Guardiola for his interest and hopefully in the future I can learn from him.”
On his decision to leave, he added: “I didn’t talk to (Barcelona boss) Luis Enrique [before leaving]. I only saw he didn’t count on me.
“There are things you have to accept and I have to continue to develop. It was time to go.”
