Atalanta winger Emiliano Rigoni said he turned down Serie A giants Juventus during the summer transfer window so he could join his current club instead.
Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Football Italia), the Argentinian explained why he picked to move to the club in Bergamo:
"It was the club that wanted me more than any other.
"And Serie A is the top. I couldn’t have chosen any differently after the experience in Russia.
"Other offers? Yes, I’m thinking above all of Juventus, who wanted me, but I’d been talking to La Dea for a year and I think the determination with which a club looks for you is crucial.
