Rodrigo Bentancur says he’s “honoured” to play for Juventus, after signing from Boca Juniors.
The Bianconeri got an option on the midfielder as part of the deal which took Carlos Tevez back to Argentina, and they took up that option in April.
“My dream has always been to play in Europe,” Bentancur told JTV.
“As soon as I had the chance to come to Europe I was very happy and it’s an honour to be at Juventus.
“I already have 100 appearances for Boca, and I want to use that here too.

“I already have 100 appearances for Boca, and I want to use that here too.
“I was fortunate enough to play for a wonderful club like Boca since I was little, followed by a lot of fans in a very important stadium with a passionate atmosphere [La Bombonera].
“When I heard I was coming to Juventus, the first thing I did was to watch all of Juve’s matches and above all look at the midfielders.
“I know this is a new football, faster than the Argentine one, but I’m ready to learn everything about Italian football.
“I can play in every role, I like to play in front of defence but I also like to attack. Then obviously the Coach [Max Allegri] will decide where I play.”
