Schwarzer: On the move
Mark Schwarzer has confirmed he turned down Juventus and Bayern Munich to sign for Fulham.
On Thursday, it was revealed that the Australian will join Fulham from Middlesbrough.
The 35-year-old has explained he could have moved abroad, but was keen to secure a starting role, rather than potentially play as back-up to Juve’s Gianluigi Buffon.
“There were offers on the table but the only thing that mattered to me was regular first-team football,” he said on Sky Sports News.
“And obviously someone like Juventus you don’t have to be Einstein to work out that you have Buffon there and it is very unlikely you are going to play too many games under Buffon as he is such a world class keeper.
“And with Bayern Munich it was a similar situation with their goalkeeping situation.
“I want to qualify for the next World Cup and hopefully be part of that so I had to go somewhere I would be considered No.1.”
