“I’m happy to be at Fiorentina, otherwise I would have left,” the 22-year-old forward told Sky Sport Italia.
“I had a lot of offers, but, in the end, I decided to stay because I was promised that the club would build a great team this summer and they have done that.
“For me, it is important that I am part of an ambitious side who can fight for important objectives.
“My agent did his job, he told me of the proposals that came in, but I have to ultimately make the decision where to play my football and I’m happy with the choice made.”
The Stadio Artemio Franchi outfit value the youngster at around €30m.
