“He has tactical sense, excellent technique, is strong in the air and in the tackle. In short, a great buy.
“My favourite Juventus player? Stephan Lichtsteiner. He’s one of the best in the world in his role and is an essential element. I hope he gets back on the pitch soon.
“Allegri has great charisma and is a fantastic Coach with a strong personality, which I respect a lot. As well as being a great tactician.
"Coman is a guy with a great talent, but has didn’t take his chances at Juventus. Now Bayern are giving him more of a chance to show his worth and establish himself.
“Draxler is a great player, but still has to develop a lot. Therefore it is better for him to make this growth with Wolfsburg and maybe in a few years, when he will be a more mature and complete player, he will move to Italy.
“Paulo Sousa is a meticulous coach, like he was as a player, and he has created his own style of play that gives attention to the smallest details.
“He has a strong personality and I think he will be successful in Italy as well."
