Kasami reveals Juve chance

Pajtim Kasami has claimed that Italian giants Juventus made overtures to him during the transfer window, but that he chose to remain loyal to Fulham.

The 19-year-old signed a four-year contract with the Cottagers after moving from Palermo last summer, but is yet to established himself in the first team under new manager Martin Jol.

He has represented Fulham only once in 2012, and made 16 appearances for the club in total.

Last month, the Switzerland Under-21 international was offered the opportunity to return to Serie A with title contenders Juventus.

Kasami admits to being flattered by the interest, but is adamant his commitment to Fulham remains strong.

“I am honoured to have received an offer from Juventus, which is a great club,” Kasami told Blick.

“But I am halfway through my first season at Fulham and, right now, I don’t want to go away.

“Lately, I’m not playing a lot and I’m not happy with this situation, but I’d rather stay and wait for my chance.”
