Blanc explains Juventus selling Diego

Juventus chief Jean-Claude Blanc has explained selling Diego to Wolfsburg.

The Brazilian lasted just one season in Turin.

"Diego would've had difficulty settling into Gigi Del Neri's tactical system," explained Blanc during a shareholder's meeting in Turin.

The Brazilian was surprisingly sold to Wolfsburg after he had already played in the Europa League and for less than the club paid for him just a year earlier.

"We preferred to sell him in order to reach another player of his level, like Krasic."
