Panucci: Samuel should choose Real Madrid over Chelsea

AS Roma fullback Christian Panucci says he would recommend teammate Walter Samuel join Real Madrid over Chelsea.

Panucci is a veteran of both clubs and was asked by AS who he would tell Samuel to join if asked.

"In that case, I would say 'choose Real Madrid'. Without a doubt," declared the Italian international.

"It's not only a question of prestige, since we're talking about the most important club in the world, but also the quality of life and also the football."

"Samuel has everything ... and he's also a good bloke."
