"It is true, there was more than one contact with Juventus," the 29-year-old told BeIn Sports. "After the European Championships my agent and I had discussions with the club.

"I wanted to talk with PSG to understand what the situation was on the new Coach, I wanted clarity and after speaking with Unai Emery I understood many things.

"There were things to settle with PSG but now it's all sorted out.

"Honestly, at one point I hesitated and I really thought about leaving Paris, but now I am very happy at PSG, it's in the past and I am proud to still be here.

"I hope to wear the colors of Paris Saint-Germain for a long time.''
