Juventus are one of the clubs that wanted to add Jakub Kiwior to their squad before Arsenal stole their lead to sign the Polish defender.
The Bianconeri have a reputation for stealing the best players from other clubs and adding them to their squad in recent seasons.
They had been watching Kiwior and hoped to seal a deal for the defender in the summer, however Arsenal acted quicker and now play in the Premier League with the Gunners.
His agent, Sasha Baranov, has now discussed the transfer and how Italian clubs missed out on his signing.
He said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“In Italy all the important companies have advanced their interest except Inter, Napoli, Milan and Juventus. Due to the situation that they are experiencing right now, Napoli did not need to change teams in January, they wanted to take the speech to the summer. Juventus knows what happened and Milan waited, so you know what happens when the Premier teams arrive.
Juve FC says
Speed is one of the most important things in the transfer market and whoever acts faster can sign the player in question.
If we continue to hesitate, other clubs will also beat us in our other goals, so we must act as quickly as possible.
