Heldt: `Draksler wanted very much to pass at Juventus.`

Draksler will probably pass at Juventus, revealed the General Manager of Schalke, Horst Heldt.
All the time, Draksler was an object of interest from the Bianconeri and seemed close to a transfer to the Italian champion. Ultimately, however, the German went into a local competitor of Schalke-Wolfsburg.
Heldt admitted that the desire was to Draksler starts dancing in Turin, but the interest of Juve actually was not that big.
`I think Julian was hoping to obtain a transfer to Juventus.`, admitted Heldt. `But their interest was never as serious as Juve fans and media wanted to believe.`
`Wolfsburg gave its bid just days before the end of the transfer window, but for us it makes sense to work with players who are convinced that they want to play for Schalke.`
