Julian Draxler defends his move to Wolfsburg over Juventus, saying he ‘wasn’t ready to move abroad’.
The 21-year-old was courted by the Old Lady throughout the summer, before eventually deciding to remain in Germany and making a surprise move to last year’s Bundesliga runners up.
The attacking midfielder was top of the Bianconeri’s list in their search for a trequartista, before their failed approach resulted in the deadline day capture of Hernanes from Inter.

“From the outside, maybe my move isn’t understandable,” Draxler told German outlet Bild.
“Schalke are a great club in Germany. Many people thought that if I left it would be for a top foreign club, but I decided not to go abroad as I didn’t feel ready for that kind of move.”
