“I want to win the Champions League. I feel I’m a more mature player now, I want to win over the Bayern fans.

“I’m ready to play in the Super Cup on Saturday, but we’ll see. I like to play in midfield, but the Coach [Pep Guardiola] will decide.
“I chose Juve in 2011 for myself and for my family, now I’m ready, and I have the experience it takes to play at a club like Bayern.
“I don’t think I’ll have to change my style, I developed my game in Italy, as well as improving my quality.
