Napoli star rejected moves to AC Milan and Juventus says agent
The player’s agent has released an interview with Repubblica revealing that his client snubbed moves to AC Milan and Juventus last summer.
​Both clubs were interested in signing the talented 19-year-old midfielder last season, but Napoli managed to sign him.
“At the beginning of the summer transfer window, Valencia tried to sign him but when I started negotiations with Napoli, the club’s director of sport told me: ‘it’s useless for you to talk with other clubs because I’m going to sign him’. In that period clubs like Juventus and AC Milan had asked information about Diawara.”
The Guinea-born midfielder has 16 appearances in all competitions with Napoli so far this season.
