Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso admits he didn't want to lose Fede Chiesa last summer.
Commisso hit out at Juventus' management over the deal.
“How did Juve sign Chiesa? They 'stole' him because they gave him a lot more money," commented Commisso on Radio Bruno.
“There is the difference between us and Juve, the more revenue you have, the more money you can spend. They are the Scudetto favourites every time because they have a €300m wage bill and ours is €70m. Money counts.
“There are clubs like Juventus, Barcelona and Inter who are indebted through 'dirty work'."
