Mattia Caldara delighted with his move to Juventus

Mattia Caldara is delighted with his move to Juventus.

Atalanta sold the youngster to Juventus on Thursday.

The initial deal is worth €15m with €6m in add-ons, but the Bergamo club could receive another €4m for helping to develop the player while he stays on loan until June 2018.

“Obviously this is a massive day for me," he told JTV.

“My objective has always been to sign for a big club. I know that Juventus believe in me and made a real investment to sign me, so that is very flattering and makes me really proud.

“It is a very important day for me. I need to focus on doing well in Bergamo still so I can be ready when the time comes to join Juve, a club with big ambitions.

“I need to concentrate on Atalanta and think about improving with every game, because I still have a long way to go and it's early into my career.

“I have to put in the utmost effort for every training session to make sure I am ready for Juve."
