"Things went very fast, the first contact with Juventus happened three days ago,'' Zebina said.
"It showed they really wanted me. With AC Milan discussions started three months ago but then everything stopped.
"With Roma there was never any opportunity to get a contract extension, the club is experiencing financial difficulties.
"I was also contacted by Chelsea and Liverpool but I could not accept.''
Anfield interest in Zebina will only add credence to the rumours that the Reds are actively seeking replacements for the Henchoz and Hyypia partnership in the summer.
