“I will need some time to adapt to a new country, new language and new teammates, but I hope that it’ll be quick so I can help my new squad,” Lyanco told UOL.
“It’s true that Juventus wanted me, but then Torino came in. It’ll be fun and important to play against Juve in the derby.
“Toro bought my rights and I am happy, I can’t wait to start this new adventure. It was a tough decision to leave my friends and my country, but I am ready.”
