Italian media: Juventus wanted to sign Zelinsky without signing last year, but he didn t want to join Naples mortal enemy

According to Inter Milan News, Juventus wanted to sign Zelinsky without a sign last summer, but he did not want to join Naples' mortal enemy.

This Sunday, Juventus and Inter Milan will face off in Italy's most hostile showdown: an Italian national derby, which is the focus of this round, is about to be staged. And in Inter Milan, there is a player who may have worn Juventus' jersey last summer.

This player is Zelinski, the Polish midfielder who joined Inter Milan from Napoli a year ago, was actually Juventus' target at that time. Juventus's then director Jon Toli knew Zelinsky very well. The two worked together in Naples for many years and were happy to bring him to Juventus, but this idea did not come true.

Zelins's basic man also said that he does not want to betray the emotions of Napoli fans and will not accept invitations from his arch-rival Juventus. In the end, Zelinsky chose Inter Milan, not only because of the club's program, but also because of the salary offered by Inter Milan. Naples did not pay Zelinsky's ideal annual salary of 4.5 million euros until the end, which is also his current salary at Inter Milan.

Juventus has actually prepared a generous offer that is not inferior to Inter, hoping to convince the midfielder born in 1994 to join, but Zelinsky not only chose Inter, but also scored twice in the previous national derby against Juventus, drawing the opponent 4-4. Despite this, Zelinsky's performance in his first season in Inter Milan was not completely satisfactory, mainly because he was repeatedly affected by injuries.
