New Juventus signing Rodrigo Bentancur says he’s honoured to join the Bianconeri after completing his move from Boca Juniors.
The Uruguayan finally signed off on his long-awaited transfer on Friday, with the Old Lady paying €9.5 million to secure his services.
Bentancur stated he’s delighted Juventus have shown faith in his abilities, and that he can’t wait to test himself in Serie A.
“I’m happy that a team like Juventus showed interest in me,” he told the Bianconeri’s official website. “It’s a big opportunity to be here and I am happy.
“I don’t really know Italian football. I’ve watched it on TV, but I want to take advantage of this opportunity.
“It’s different from Argentine football as it is more physical. It’s a new beginning and I have a lot to learn.”
The Uruguayan also revealed that he spoke with former Juventus striker Carlos Tevez about the Bianconeri.
“As soon as I had the opportunity, I spoke with Carlitos,” he added. “He told me that Juventus is a great club, but I’ve also learned [about the club] on my own.”
Juventus take on Genoa in Serie A play on Sunday.
