Anthony Martial reportedly rejected a bid from Chelsea to join Manchester United.
Chelsea was as interested in Martial as United was ahead of the transfer window deadline.
“There was another club that offered even more than United,” Monaco vice president Vadim Vasilyev said earlier this week.
“I will not say how much, but the fixed price, without variables, it was even better. And also they offered us to have him for a further year in Monaco.
“But the boy wanted to go to Manchester, it was his dream. And we let him go with the bonus of €30 million. Had it not been for so much money, he’d have stayed.”
