It didn’t take me long to decide my future when the phone call from Piacenza arrived, I arrived in a club that has important objectives and that has made giant strides in just a few years. I expect an important season in a team that aims high, I will do everything I can to be able to help during the week in training and in matches when I am called upon to make my contribution. It will be a summer of rest, I can’t wait to start this new adventure.”
