How a player’s request scuppered his summer move to JuventusJuvefc.com

Juventus had widely reported interest in Marko Arnautovic in the summer as they searched for a new striker.

The Austrian scored in double figures last season, and caught the attention of the Bianconeri.

Various reports claim that Bologna refused to listen to Juventus’ offer because it was untouchable.

Considering his importance to their team, it made sense that they would want to keep him at all costs.

However, a report on Tuttomercatoweb reveals that the forward has spoken to the Bianconeri about the move.

But they could not reach an agreement because he had asked to start.

Juve have Dusan Vlahovic as their main striker, so anyone who joins has to accept the role of substitute.

However, Arnautovic wanted more, and the black and whites couldn’t offer it to him.

Juve FC says

Arnautovic has had a good time in Serie A since he moved into the competition and he could have done a good job for us.

However, we signed Arkadiusz Milik instead, and the Pole has been fantastic too.

We need to focus on getting more done with Milik right now because he is the player we have in our possession.

Putting him and Vlahovic on the same team is a partnership that could take us to the next level.
