Amauri has taken himself off the market. “There’s a new atmosphere at Juventus and I don’t want to leave.”
The Brazilian was linked with a departure after the club pushed for Edin Dzeko, but now that the chase for the Wolfsburg striker appears to be over, he is back centre-stage.
“This season even when there were rumours about my future, I remained calm,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“When I’m in good shape, I can challenge just about anyone. I don’t want to leave, I intend to put myself back in the thick of it.”
He has had a great start to the season, bagging a brace in the 2-0 Europa League preliminary round win over Shamrock Rovers.
Amauri has been linked with a move to Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid this week.
“Real’s interest changes nothing for me. I want to challenge myself in the Juventus jersey. This summer, after everything that happened last season, it would be easy to demand a transfer.
“I didn’t do that because I want to do well with Juve. I got the feeling myself, Diego and Felipe Melo were criticised too much, as we didn’t deserve to be singled out that way.
“Things have changed this season, as there is a new atmosphere at Juventus. We can do something great and have the champions to succeed.”
Some of that is down to new Coach Gigi Del Neri, who has changed the system to a 4-4-2.
“He is very clear in saying what he thinks. He doesn’t see a difference between those who play and who don’t,” added Amauri.
“I am aware of my potential, am hungry and will do everything to surpass 20 goals this season.”
The 2010-11 campaign could also give him a new international career for the Azzurri.
“I am Italian now and have my passport. If a call comes, I will answer it with my heart.”
