Mauricio Isla: I'm not up to Juventus standards

Mauricio Isla can't see himself at Juventus.

The Chile wing-back played on-loan with Olympique Marseille this season.

“I always said that Juventus bought me when I had a knee injury," the right-back told LUN.

“I am happy to have played with the likes of Gigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez.

“But if you are not up to the standard of that club, then you need to move on. Honestly, I was not capable of playing for Juventus, as we are talking about one of the top 10 teams in the world.

“I am happy in Marseille, as it is more my level. If I am not a Juventus player right now, it is because I don't deserve to be there."
