Veron Stays With Estudiantes
(Soccer365.com) Estudiantes midfield general Juan Sebastian Veron says he turned down a D.C. United deal because of the wishes of his teammates and the club's fans.
The MLS Supporters Shield winners were offering a bushel of money to the former Argentina star, but the people back home were able to tug on his heart strings.
"It was a lot of money," admitted Veron. "Maybe I would advise a kid to go, but in a situation like mine it is better to live for the things that give you happiness."
"My teammates told me: we fought for a year to play in the Copa Libertadores and we have to stay together."
