The Bianconeri claim they were left with no option to pull out of the proposed transfer, while at the same time confirming that they tried to sign Marek Hamsik.
Beppe Marotta has claimed that Juventus called off its pursuit of Julian Draxler because Schalke was "difficult" to deal with, the asking price was "disproportionate" and the player's attitude wasn't right.
The Bianconeri were desperate to land a versatile attacker before the close of the summer transfer window and had their sights set on Germany international Draxler.
However, the Italian champion failed to agree a deal with Schalke for the 21-year-old, who ended up joining Wolfsburg instead.
