However, the deal fell through because the Accra giants told him they have a better deal for him in Switzerland, but it never happened.
"I went to Italy, I was with Brescia, Stephen Appiah actually invited me there," he told Delay on the Delay Show. "They actually agreed to sign me and give Hearts $400,000," he added.
"I was even told if I perform well at the club they will sell me to Juventus and Hearts will also earn a share out of that money. So I came back and prepared to leave."
"On a Wednesday I told Hearts I was leaving on Friday and they told me to stay because there was a better offer from Switzerland," he added.
Delay then asked if he was bitter with the club, Taylor answered strongly,"Yes, I am!"
The 37-year old developed an acrimonious relationship with the club and later joined their arch rivals Asante Kotoko.
