Juventus 'Failed' in Attempt to Snatch Atletico Madrid Defender Diego Godin From Rivals Inter

Juventus failed in an attempt to sign Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin ahead of their Serie A rivals Inter, according to reports from Italy.

The Uruguay international has been a cornerstone of Diego Simeone's side for several years, but had been linked with a move away from the Wanda Metropolitano.

It was earlier claimed that Inter had agreed personal terms with the 33-year-old, but Sky Sport Italia have revealed that Juventus tried to hijack the Nerazzurri's proposed deal, only to find out that the veteran defender had already committed himself to joining Luciano Spalletti's side at the end of the season.
