Former Juventus chief Alessio Secco had deals in place for James Rodriguez, Eden Hazard and Radja Nainggolan before he was blocked by the club's former board.Gazzetta dello Sport says in 2010, when Secco was in charge of football matters at Juve, he had agreed a deal over AS Monaco midfielder James Rodriguez for €5 million, €6 million for Chelsea star Eden Hazard and €4 million for Radja Nainggolan. In total, the three players could've signed for Juve for just €15 million.
But, former director Roberto Bettega blocked the deals, blowing the negotiations before Juve's revolution under president Andrea Agnelli and current GM Beppe Marotta.
The value of the trio today would be over €100 million.
