AC Milan signing Andrea Conti is delighted with his move from Atalanta.
Conti signed for Milan last week for €25m.
“I'm happy to be back with my teammates, whom I trained with at Milanello once, because we have to start gelling as a team," he told Milan TV.
“The season begins soon and we need to form a good group among ourselves.
“Montella? The Coach's been asking us to play from the back, although I still have to understand what he wants in more detail.
“Why I joined Milan? Because, first and foremost, Milan were the first team to look for me and the one that wanted me the most.
“With all due respect to other teams, we're talking about Milan… As soon as this possibility came up, I immediately wanted to come here.
“I'm happy and I thank them for the effort they made to buy me. I'll try to repay their faith in me.
“Atalanta? I'll always be grateful to them and Gasperini. Gasperini changed my life, he pulled something out of me that I didn't think I was even capable of, and I'll try to produce that form for Milan too.
“Role models? I've always admired Dani Alves as a player and Sergio Ramos for the character he has.
“At Milan, De Sciglio is a young Italian player that I like very much. Cafu? He was a great player and I hope to do at least half of what he did.
“Objectives with Milan? I came here to win and improve so much. Universitatea Craiova in the Europa League? It will certainly be important for us to get to know each other better."
