Italians will continue to compete among the ranks of multiple Italian champions.
Turin's Juventus and London's Arsenal clashed over the transfer of Fabio Quagliarella, but in the last minute Antonio Conte vetoed the deal.
The influential Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport" reports that last Friday both clubs successfully agreed on the forward's transfer.
On the same day, the Turin team's strategist complained during a press conference that Juventus had to sell Alessandro Matri to AC Milan for 11 million euros due to financial reasons.
After the conference, A. Conte received a call from the club's management and immediately vetoed the sale of F. Quagliarella without hesitation. According to reports, the Gunners were willing to pay 9 million euros for the 30-year-old forward.
This summer, F. Quagliarella was also of interest to other English Premier clubs, including Norwich, Sunderland, and London's West Ham United.
