“United? No, I like Inter. I prefer the Nerazzurri because they have a lot of South Americans at the club. And I’m happy in Italy.

“Saying that, it is clear that I would not turn down other strong teams because I’m ambitious: Manchester, Milan, Juventus…

“I’ll decide with my family and with my agent.

“I don’t know if I am worth that. I still need to learn and work hard. I need to improve as a player.”
