Inter’s Ghanaian international full-back Kwadwo Asamoa revealed in an exclusive interview with Football Italia, that he could have stayed and extended his contract at Juventus, but chose not to, in part due to how much the Nerazzurri wanted him.

“I had the opportunity to extend my contract at Juventus, and if I had wanted to, I could have stayed. However, when I thought about my future, and what was best for me, I decided to move clubs to get more playing time and because it’s always stimulating to take on a new challenge in life. It’s always important to put yourself out there. Inter showed that they really wanted me, which made me very proud and happy.”

“We’re talking about two massive clubs. I didn’t notice any big differences. I was made to feel very welcome by my new team-mates, the coaching staff and everyone who works in all the various departments. I felt very welcome straight away. It wasn’t difficult to settle in, I felt at home at Inter right away.”

“It’s true that I won lots of titles at Juve, thanks to the group’s winning mentality and mine too. A winning mentality is part of me and that fits perfectly with Suning’s aim of getting back to the top in Europe and around the world, of consistently competing in the Champions League and of fighting to win the league once more. I believe in all of that.”
