Diego's transfer to Juventus Turin has been complete since Tuesday and Werder Bremen collected a record transfer fee for selling the midfielder. But they also lost an extraordinary footballer - probably the best in the Bundesliga. The Brazilian talked about the reasons for his transfer.

 

Diego, you have been connected with various clubs in the past couple years. Why, in the end, did you decide for Juventus Turin?

First of all because Juventus are a top club and have one of the best teams in the world. And secondly because they have been interested in me for about two and a half years. They were very professional in their dealings and the offer they made was very professional and convinced me.

 

Are you sad at all that your time in Bremen is nearly over with?

For sure it will be difficult for me to leave Bremen. I will always look back nostalgically on Bremen. I had three excellent years here, the best of my career and my life. Regardless of what happens, Werder Bremen will always be in my heart.

 

Would you say the contract with Juventus is the most important in your life?

Yeah, I am taking a big step in my career. I am now 24 years old and signed for five years. This stage is the best time for a footballer's career. I am very thankful to Werder that I could become of the best players in Europe through my work in Bremen.

 

Werder have a very important game coming up on Saturday with the German Cup final. That will be your last game in Werder dress. What will it mean for you?

This game will be my most important - not only with Werder but in my whole life. I am very happy that I have a chance of giving something back for all the devotion that was given to me in Bremen. I am top motivated and will give everything I have in Berlin.
