Antonio Cassano claims Juventus wanted to sign him in January – ‘I don’t know what happened’.
The Italian international is a free agent after terminating his Parma contract, and says he could have moved to Turin to replace Sebastian Giovinco.
“They wanted me in January, when they were going to sell Giovinco,” Cassano told Tiki-Taka.
“I would have gone, then I don’t know what happened.
Antonio Cassano claims Juventus wanted to sign him in January – ‘I don’t know what happened’.
The Italian international is a free agent after terminating his Parma contract, and says he could have moved to Turin to replace Sebastian Giovinco.
“They wanted me in January, when they were going to sell Giovinco,” Cassano told Tiki-Taka.
“I would have gone, then I don’t know what happened.
“I’d say yes to Juve now, because [Massimiliano] Allegri is [Coach] there, and he knows how to handle players, he doesn’t ask you to run up and down on a single track.
“He’s good, they slaughtered him when he arrived, but now he’s doing better than [Antonio] Conte.
“That said, I think Conte built an empire over the past three years, so if they’re in the Champions League final he also deserves some credit.”
The forward has been linked with the Bianconeri throughout his career, and claims to have turned them down as they only want ‘little soldiers’.
“I’ve turned down Juve four times. When I went to Roma… [Luciano] Moggi is still waiting. Then when they went to Serie B, and again when they came back to Serie A.
“I spoke about soldiers, and I was not fit to be like that, I wasn’t fit to follow the right path. I change direction every two or three days, and I wouldn’t fit well in a team like that.”
Finally, Cassano was asked about the Old Lady’s run to the Champions League final, and believes with a little luck they can beat Barcelona.
“I honestly didn’t expect Juventus to make the Champions League final,” Cassano admitted.
“I have to say, they deserved it.
“Barcelona are almost unbeatable for everyone, but if they score right away, and are tight in defence, as well as having a little luck…
“Juve seem to have it [luck] this year, and they can bring home the trophy.”
