Napoli legend Marek Hamsik has spoken about having a chance to leave Partenopei and reveals that Juventus are one of the clubs that wanted to sign him.
He was one of the best midfielders in the world when he played for Napoli and clubs constantly wanted to sign him, so it’s only natural that Juventus wanted him too.
However, he remained with Napoli and made over 500 career appearances for them before leaving to join Dalian Professional in 2019 and has now spoken about the interest he had from other clubs.
He reveals that Juve tried to entice him by using Pavel Nedved to talk to him about moving to Turin, as he was committed to Napoli.
He said via Football Italia:
“During my years at Napoli there were many teams that loved me, the first was Milan, then Inter and then Juventus. We made a few calls with Nedved, but I didn’t even think about it.
“I never felt like leaving, I was happy and so was my family, that’s why I always renewed.”
Juve FC says
Hamsik was one of the best midfielders in the world when he played for Napoli, so it’s understandable that we wanted to sign him as well.
However, we signed other players and we continued to dominate Serie A even before he left the competition, so he couldn’t win titles with us.
