On Tuesday, RTL Info in Belgium published an interview with Fulham’s Timothy Castagne, who gave an ‘incredible confession’ about the summer transfer window.
The radio station sat down with the defender to discuss his current status as well as any other news that might have been happened, which is when they got him to talk about a near move to Juventus.
That shouldn’t come as a surprise after Leicester were relegated to the Championship and the Belgian’s past in Serie A with Atalanta, but the 27-year-old eventually ended up at Fulham in exchange for €13m after a move to Turin failed to materialise.
The right-back gave his explanation on the matter, with RTL Info claiming that ‘serious negotiations’ took place.
Castagne said: “There was interest (from Juventus), but it blocked a bit money wise. We had been speaking with Fulham and the manager for a while. It dragged a bit, but in the end it was done and I’m very happy.”
Since joining, the Fulham right-back has played in all nine games he was eligible for for the Craven Cottage side in the Premier League, as well as two others in the EFL Cup.
This comes after 112 appearances for Leicester, where he picked up five goals and assisted another eight during his three years there.
