Draxler regrets collapse of Juventus deal

The Germany midfielder has admitted that he wanted to join the Italian giant ahead of the 2015-16 campaign before eventually settling at the Volkswagen Arena.

Julian Draxler has revealed he agreed terms with Juventus ahead of the 2015-16 campaign, but the Serie A champion did not meet Schalke's valuation and he eventually joined Wolfsburg instead.

Juve had earmarked the Germany international to add more creativity to the midfield, but missed out after the clubs failed to agree a fee.

Draxler, 22, has now admitted he was keen to join Juve, but is adamant he is now happy at Wolfsburg.
