“I’m really excited to be here and to start this new adventure with such an important club. I’m determined to give my best and, together with my teammates, achieve our goal of keeping Venezia in Serie A next season as well.
I had the opportunity to take a quick tour of the city and the Stadio Penzo—both left me speechless. They are truly wonderful and absolutely extraordinary.
A warm greeting to all the arancioneroverdi fans: keep believing in us, because we will do everything possible to achieve our goal.”
