“I thank everyone at the club. The only way to repay them is to do well and give my all. There was a negotiation [with Napoli] it’s true, but my preference was always to stay at Sampdoria.
“Eder and I were at Coverciano together on the last day of the transfer window, and we were both on the phone all day.
“There was a deal for me, but that chapter is closed, I’m happy here and now I have to repay this faith on the pitch.”
