Berardi turned down Juve - Di Francesco

Sassuolo coach Eusebio Di Francesco said Domenico Berardi turned down the chance to return to Italian champions Juventus before the start of the season.

Berardi joined Sassuolo permanently from Juve in June following a successful loan spell in 2014-15.

"He didn't go to Juventus because he chose not to as he wants to complete his development with us," Di Francesco told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"He is our Arjen Robben. I have no doubts he will become a great player."
