Juventus made an attempt to sign Italian midfielder Davide Frattesi before he joined Lazio, according to transfer sources. Frattesi, who made an immediate impact at Lazio with three goals in his first three Serie A games, was reportedly a key focus for the Bianconeri. Juventus conducted serious talks with executive Giovanni Carnevali and investigated Frattesi's availability, considering him a crucial asset for their midfield.
