Juventus star Milos Krasic says he rejected a move to tonight's opponents Inter Milan.
The Serb held out amid big money offers from several clubs in order to force his move to Turin.
"It's true that Inter were after me and at the World Cup Dejan Stankovic was urging me to come to San Siro with him," Krasic told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Once the concrete offer from Juve came in, I didn't have the slightest doubt. I strongly wanted the Bianconeri.
"It was their history, victories and prestige, which at Juventus is something incredible and unique.
"When the Bianconeri directors came forward for me, it was as if a lifelong dream had come true. I never thought I could aim so high."
