Juventus turned down a host of offers for striker Fabio Quagliarella this summer, according to his agent.
The Italian forward was expected to move on during the transfer window and a supposed switch to Roma on deadline day collapsed in the final moments.
“Fabio didn’t want to leave Juventus,” his agent Beppe Bozzo told TuttoMercatoWeb.
“He simply asked for more space in the side because he knows he can be of use.
“And boss Antonio Conte has always believed in him.
“Quagliarella received a number of offers from Italy and abroad, but the club decided to keep him because he is part of the project and considered an important player.
“Then it is only normal that you have to accept the rotation policy when you are part of a great side.”
Bozzo also commented on another two Juventus players on his books who were mentioned during the transfer window, including Luca Marrone, who joined Sassuolo on a co-ownership.
“Fiorentina were interested in Marrone,” the agent added. “In the end he joined Sassuolo in an important operation which included Domenico Berardi.
“Juventus would never have sent him out on loan. Marrone will shine at Sassuolo and he can continue to grow.
“A return to Atalanta for Peluso? The club who were most interested in him was Verona. There were a few sides chasing Federico, but Juventus and Conte decided to keep him.”
