The Rosanero patron also revealed the club tried to sign Gregoire Defrel, before the Frenchman moved to Sassuolo.
“In the past few months I’ve chased a lot of players in Spain. At Las Palmas, Sergio Araujo, we offered up to €12m, which is a very big offer.
“I had [also] already found an agreement with Cesena for Defrel, but the player preferred Sassuolo, I don’t know why.”
