Juventus playmaker Diego: I did fancy Bayern Munich move

Diego insists he's happy at Juventus.

The Brazilian has come in for fierce criticism over his lack of consistency since his summer arrival from Werder Bremen.

"I want to stay in Turin for eight, maybe 10 seasons," said Diego.

"I do like Michel Platini, rather than Zinedine Zidane, who went to Real Madrid.

"Did Inter Milan try for me in the summer? No, there was no contact, but it is true that I wanted to move to Bayern Munich. Regrets? None."

He added: "Juventus wanted me for two years, I wanted to wear this shirt, I wanted to play in Italy. I did it. Now I want to win in Italy, starting as soon as possible.

"My relationship with (Ciro) Ferrara? Excellent."
