Luciano Spalletti: We really did try to loan Krasic from Juventus

Zenit St. Petersburg boss Luciano Spalletti admitted his club made an offer to sign Serbian midfielder Milos Krasic on loan from Juventus in the winter transfer window.

«We held negotiations with Juventus over Krasic with the intention of taking the midfielder on loan,» the Italian manager told Sky Sport 24.

«Sadly, the deal fell through as neither the club, nor the player were happy with our offer,» he added.

Earlier Krasic’s agent also confirmed having talks with the Russian champions, but suggested that his client was not satisfied with the financial terms of Zenit’s offer.
