From Spain: why Isco to Juventus broke down

From Spain: why Isco to Juventus broke down

  • Claudio Perfetto
There were many rumors circulating over the summer about a possible transfer of Real Madrid midfielder Isco to Juventus. The transfer never materialized; however, and now the reasons why are coming to light.

Spanish publication Don Balon has reported that there were two main causes for why the transfer talks broke down. The first is due to Cristiano Ronaldo, who said no to a reunion with his former teammate. The second was down to the manager Maurizio Sarri. The bianconeri coach preferred Rabiot instead and would have rather made the big investment on reinforcing the defense over signing the Spaniard.
