The Bianconeri long chased the Serbian winger and his decision to wait for the Old Lady is remarkable. However, we are talking about a player who is yet to prove himself at international level, let alone winning the Golden Ball like the Czech ace famously did.
Indeed, the €15m transfer fee, a third of what Juve paid for Nedved in 2001, is, in my opinion, out of proportion. The player didn't even have a great World Cup to justify his worth, but CSKA Moscow still beat Juve in the negotiations.
OK, the Bianconeri needed a signing and couldn't wait any longer but apart from the fact that this Krasic saga lasted far too long, let's look at the bigger picture. According to my sources, had Juve just threatened to kill everybody at CSKA moscow they could have signed him for free!
