Juventus had agreement to sign Atletico defender in January; the reason it broke down
However, Juventus then decided to go back on the deal, in order to ensure that they could make a summer move for Ajax defender Matthijs De Ligt. Juve need to make sure that they can afford to purchase the Dutch centre-back and, therefore, decided that Savic was not an immediate priority and that they would rather wait for the summer to purchase a much better player for the club's long-term future.
Juventus face tough competition from De Ligt from PSG and Barcelona, who are both very interested in signing the Dutchman, considered by many to be one of the brightest young talents in the world.
