Pele admits if he had played in Europe he would have liked to have played for Real Madrid.
The Brazilian legend told AS: "No doubt about it, I would have played for Real Madrid. But back then the difference between Santos and Madrid or Italy was very small."
"Back then, Real Madrid played like Santos: Gento, Di Stefano and Amancio all in midfield. Later Didi played for Madrid, but it didn't happen for me."
"I spoke two or three times with Madrid. I also spoke with Agnelli about Juve."
"When I left Santos for New York, I had another offer from Madrid. But the USA was a new competition, less stressful and at the time I wanted to learn sports marketing and international affairs."
