“Now it's up to me to win over the Coach and stay as a regular in this Italy squad.
“I am very happy to be reunited with my old teammate Leonardo Bonucci, as we are bonded by a great friendship off the field and a strong synergy on it.”
The two played together at Bari and for the Under-21 side, while reports suggest they could be together again in Turin next season.
“At the moment he is ahead of me, having played in the World Cup and moved to a big club like Juventus.
“For now I won't think about the transfer market. First of all I want to give my all for Genoa, then we'll see.”
