Patrice Evra has described his return to Italy as ‘like destiny’, as he compares his summer arrival at Juventus to ‘a dream’.
The France international arrived in Turin on Wednesday night and this morning will undergo routine medical tests before officially being presented as a new signing at Vinovo.
For the 33-year-old, it is a second bite at Italian football, following an early and brief stint at Monza 15 years ago.
“Yes indeed, for me it’s like destiny,” Evra has told Juve’s official website on arrival.
“When I was 17 Italy opened its doors for me to become the player I am now. Today I am truly a happy man.
“I cannot wait to start because, it is destiny. To me, it’s like a dream. It’s an amazing feeling to start over again. In Manchester I’ve won everything, whilst the Evra at Juventus has not won anything yet.
“Then, with great humility, with a desire to work, to learn even at 33 and to achieve beautiful things. I am one who likes to win, I chose a team like Juve to win and I will do my best to give all that I can for the club, for the fans, for the Coach and for my teammates.
“A message for the fans? I am a person that does not sell many dreams, the only thing I can guarantee to the fans is that I will give my best for this shirt.
“I have to thank the people not with words, but with action on the field. Forza Juve and I hope to win many trophies.”
