Serie A champion Juventus failed with a bid for Marek Hamsik during the transfer window, says Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis.
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed that Juventus failed with a 25 million euro ($28 million) offer for Marek Hamsik during the transfer window.
The defending Serie A champions were on the hunt for attacking replacements after the departures of Carlos Tevez and Andrea Pirlo, with Julian Draxler and Axel Witsel widely linked.
De Laurentiis confirmed Hamsik was also on Massimiliano Allegri's radar, but that interest was quickly rebuffed and Juve opted for Hernanes from Inter.
