Agent: Juve wanted Hysaj, but…

By Football Italia staff

Elseid Hysaj’s agent claims the Napoli full-back rejected the chance to join Juventus earlier in the summer.

Hysaj was linked with Juve as a replacement for Dani Alves, but the right-back ultimately stayed at Napoli as the Bianconeri plumped for Mattia De Sciglio.

“I’ll tell you about Hysaj: Juve called me and asked me for him. I listened to them and referred it to the lad,” Mario Giuffredi told Il Mattino.

“He didn’t even allow me to open talks with them because he told me that he wasn’t thinking about leaving Napoli and wanted to stay at Napoli.

“He wants to win the League there. No-one could’ve changed that.”
