The agent of Juventus fullback Andrea Cambiaso admits a move to AC Milan was close over the summer.

Giovanni Bia says only finances saw the deal fall through.

Milan had wanted Cambiaso as a replacement for Fode Ballo-Toure.

Bia told TuttoJuve: “There were a couple of Italian teams, one that came out was Milan and also three or four from the Premier League were very interested.

"We were not surprised by the fact that Juve considered him untransferable, they would only sell him for an offer of €25-30 million."
