Stephan Lichtsteiner: I'm leaving Juventus

Stephan Lichtsteiner has announced he's leaving Juventus.

The Swiss defender spoke after victory over Bologna.

He said: “These are my last 14 days at Juventus. I need new challenges and motivation."

His contract is due to expire on June 30 and he has been with the Bianconeri since 2011.

“I have improved in my mentality. I didn't know what it meant to play at Juventus when I arrived, as there is pressure and obsession for the victory," he then told Sky Sport Italia.

“At Lazio we had to defend in the final third, here in midfield. My future will be outside of Italy. I won't say where yet, as I haven't signed."
