“This is the best season of my career,” he told Sport.Blic.rs in Bosnia.

“My history is made up of dreams. That’s what I am like, I have always believed in myself. The first season at Roma wasn’t the best due to a series of unfortunate circumstances.

“I changed training method, city, style of football and so I needed time to adapt. It would’ve been easier to just walk away, but I wanted to stay and prove my quality. I achieved that.

“There was criticism, it was entirely fair and it helped make me stronger. Every league is different. In Italy I found a new style of defending that I wasn’t accustomed to. In England you run all the time, less so in the Bundesliga, but it is an attractive league.

“I don’t know what the future holds, so I wait to see what happens. Where would I like to end my career? It’s too early to think about that! I am enjoying my time in Italy.”
