DBasia.news – Former Juventus boss who has now crossed over to Inter Milan, Giuseppe Marotta, revealed that La Vecchia Signora missed the opportunity to bring in Erling Haaland at a low price. To this day, that failure has been Marotta’s biggest regret.
Erling Haaland is one of the most attractive young players at the moment. The Norwegian striker continues to score goals for Borussia Dortmund. This season alone, Haaland has scored 11 goals in eight games.
Not surprisingly, a number of clubs are interested in signing Haaland. Reportedly, Dortmund had rejected an offer of 100 million euros to release Haaland.
The hunt for Haaland is also predicted to be even more profound in the summer of 2022. At that time, Haaland’s release clause of 75 million euros will be active.
Interestingly, in the past, Juventus had the opportunity to bring in Haaland for only 2 million euros or Rp. 33 billion. However, an agreement failed to be reached.
“One of my biggest regrets is the Haaland deal. I am the CEO of Juventus and we had a chance to sign him for 2 million euros from Molde. It almost happened,” Marotta said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Now, it is impossible to see Haaland in Serie A. There is no chance for an Italian club to sign him next summer,” said Marotta.
Currently, Giuseppe Marotta is focusing on building Inter Milan. The CEO has received a lot of praise after Inter’s slick moves in the transfer market and on the side of improving finances. Reportedly, Inter will provide a new contract for Marotta.
