The day that El Mágico González rejected PSG

In the last decade, Paris Saint-Germain has been characterized by bringing to its ranks the best players of the moment and in recent years, it has been in charge of launching the 'bombs' on the market, as happened just a few hours ago, when the parisian painting presented nothing more and nothing less than Lionel Messi, to form what can become one of the most feared teams in the history of world football, but despite this, there was a player that PSG wanted and that despite putting a millionaire offer on the table, he had the luxury of rejecting the French team, it is nothing more and nothing less than Jorge ‘El Mágico’ González.

Jorge Alberto 'The magic’González, is considered as the best Central American footballer in history, because even in his best moment, Diego Armando Maradona referred to the Salvadoran as the best player in the world, which is why great teams fought his signing and himself Magical, he had the luxury of rejecting a millionaire offer from PSG, to which González denied his talent despite the fact that there was already an agreement for his arrival.

It was in 1982, after the World Cup held in Spain, when The Salvadoran footballer had a crush on half of Europe, which is why various clubs were fighting the signing of the one who was then a player of the FAS of El Salvador and one of the most interested was PSG, a team that was launched by the cuscatleco crack and that he was very disappointed, as Mágico himself refused to play in France.

PSG and FAS had agreed on the Magic Pass for an approximate cost of 80,000,000 old pesetas, so the Salvadoran would have become one of the most expensive signings at that time and despite the fact that the club from the French capital offered a millionaire salary to the Central American, González did not appear to sign the contract that linked him with the Parisian club.

The magic argued that Paris was not the right city to lead the lifestyle he was used to, that it would be difficult to play in a city that he did not know and that also spoke a language other than his own; something that was taken advantage of by Cádiz, who although he was active in the Second Division of Spain, managed to take the Magic González to their ranks, despite the ostentatious offer that Paris Saint-Germain offered him.

The idol of Cádiz and of a nation

Already installed in Spanish football, González earned the nickname ‘Magical', After his performances with the club de la'Silver Cup', where the Salvadoran became a true figure despite his known indiscipline and his taste for nightlife, something that ended up overshadowing the career of the cuscatleco, who never denied his life full of excesses.

“I recognize that I am not a saint, that I like the night And that the desire to party is not taken away by my mother. I know that I am an irresponsible and a bad professional, and I may be wasting the opportunity of a lifetime. I know, but I have a nonsense in the coconut: I do not like to take football as a job. If I did, it wouldn't be me. I just play for fun, ”González once said in an interview.

The magic He stayed for 9 years in Cádiz and there will always be the unknown as to what would have happened to the Magico's career in a club with greater demand and greater discipline, since PSG was not the only interested party, since even He was invited by Barcelona to play a tour in the United States, however the signing failed to materialize due to an alleged indiscipline of the Salvadoran.
