According to Goal.com The Fiorentina defender snubbed down chances to join EPL giants Chelsea and Old Trafford . Richard was seen as one of the best up coming defender in Britain when he burst into the scene at Blue side of Manchester in 2005.
The 26 year old defender was loaned out to Fiorentina back in the summer days but all could have been different with him holding a pen on Chelsea or United contract papers.
He told The Daily Telegraph, "I probably wouldn't have left.I had a chance to go to Chelsea five years ago, and Manchester United, but I didn't feel it was right.I always enjoyed City.They gave me a chance at suh a young age [17].I've been unfortunate because, whenever I picked up some form, I got a niggling injury.With city, if you get an injury you can find yourself out of the team for Months.If we didn't get the investment we did, I'd probably be captain now.Wherever I go next, or stay at Fiorentina, I want to be first choice. Its nothing to do with money."
Richard is expected to leave the club at Summer as he has only appeared twice in two BPL seasons.
