Lucas Castroman has revealed why he turned down Birmingham to sign for Boca Juniors.

Lucas Castroman has revealed why he turned down Birmingham to sign for Boca Juniors. As skysports.com revealed last week, Birmingham thought they had pulled off a major coup by landing the international midfielder. However, a last-minute move from Boca derailed Birmingham's move - despite the fact they already had agreement with the player and his club, America of Mexico. "I am very pleased, I did not have great support at America last year but today I am now with a great team like Boca," said Castroman after completing his move to Boca.

He admitted he could have made more money if he had finalised his transfer to St Andrews. "I decided for many reasons to reject Birmingham," he explained. "It was not influenced by money because economically in England I would have been better off. "I am in a team now, where I have always dreamed of. When they asked me to join Boca I didn't hesitate, I respect the other clubs I played for, especially Velez, who I did my best for when I was there, but Boca is Boca."
