In a long interview given to Sportweek, the former Juventus winger wanted to clarify some aspects related to his farewell to the Bianconeri, a farewell that was not chosen by the player but was dictated by the club's choices. Here are his words:
"I would have willingly stayed at Juve. They didn't renew my contract, it wasn't my choice. I would have accepted another year, even as a substitute, as a reserve, to stay in the locker room and help out. This is why I say that it was something that made me feel bad, because I cared so much about Juve, about the fans. And so when I saw that the club had taken a different path, it was difficult for me to accept. I didn't want to leave, it wasn't my choice. But when the club tells you that they don't want you anymore, that you are a burden, even if that's not the case, you have to look for another team. This is what happened. And for this reason I have so much respect for Juventus, for the fans, because I cared so much.
Inter? For me it wasn't a betrayal. I had to choose, after Juventus told me they no longer counted on me, I had to choose a team that gave me the chance to play, that gave me the chance to compete. And Inter at that moment was the best team, because it was the one that won, it was the one that was in first place in the standings, the one that would win the scudetto. So for me it wasn't a betrayal, on the contrary, I chose to go there to respect my career and to continue to give my best.
What if I expected boos from Juventus fans? I don't know, I don't know. I hope that the Juventus fans understand my choices, I made choices for the good of my career. Playing for another rival club, for me, was not a problem. I have always thought about myself and how I can continue to earn and play.
The national team? I spoke to the coach, the coach told me that I am still in his circle, that if I had been registered with a Serie A team at this moment, had been part of a Serie A team, he would have called me up. This pleases me, I'm pleased to know that the coach still takes me into account and I hope to return to play as soon as possible to be able to regain my national team jersey.
My future? I hope to find a team as soon as possible, a team that will give me the chance to play and compete at the highest levels again."
