Candreva: 'I'll be worthy of Juve'
Wednesday 20 January, 2010
Antonio Candreva confessed he felt emotional after signing for the Turin giants. “I want to prove I am worthy of Juventus.”
The midfielder completed his complex transfer this evening, as he leaves Livorno six months early from his loan spell.
Udinese have agreed a deal to loan him to Juve with an option to buy at the end of the season for a reported £6.5m.
“It is a dream come true and I cannot wait to start this new adventure,” Candreva told Sky Sport Italia cameras straight after the meeting with Bianconeri directors.
He could even be in the starting XI for Saturday night's clash with Roma
“I don't know, tomorrow I'll be at the disposal of my new teammates and the Coach. We'll see.
“I can say that 2010 has certainly got off to a brilliant start for me. I feel positive and I hope to win over the Coach and club to prove I am a player worthy of Juve.”
Candreva already has Italy caps under his belt and the move to Turin could boost his chances of being at the 2010 World Cup.
“For now I just want to concentrate on Juve and that's all. Am I emotional at this moment? Pretty much, yes.”
