"Guardiola has called me and he wanted me for his new project. I've replied him that I was honoured by the proposal but that I didn't have suffered with Juventus in the Serie B to leave the club now the beautiful moments are again coming. I've made history in this club and I want to keep on doing that. With time pasing by and the opportunities dimishing, I quickly want to win more trophies with Juventus."
