Krasic: 'I can be Juve's new Nedved' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milos Krasic is overjoyed to be at Juventus and “it is an honour to be compared to Pavel Nedved. I turned down Manchester City to come here.”
The CSKA Moscow star completed his €15m transfer this morning and was presented to the media a few hours later.
“I am happy to have arrived at Juventus. It is an honour and a great achievement for me,” said the Serb international after penning his four-year contract.
“I will do everything possible to earn a starting shirt. I had contact with Juve over two months ago and always believed I could come here.
“Negotiations can falter, but I never feared it would happen. I had proposals from Manchester City, Fenerbahce and other clubs, but when I heard there was the opportunity to join Juventus, I wanted to wait.
“Serie A is one of the best leagues in the world, but I am not afraid.
I just want to prove that Juve made the right choice and promise the fans I’ll give my all.”
Krasic has been compared to Bianconeri legend Nedved, not just because of the mop of blond hair.
“In recent years I predominantly played on the right flank, but I can also cover the left,” he explained.
“It is an honour to be compared to Nedved. He won the Ballon d’Or and was one of the best players in the world. I’ll do everything I can to reach his level.”
