Azzurrini defender Domenico Criscito has confessed that he would rather stay at Genoa than return to Juventus when his loan deal expires.
Criscito impressed for the Grifone in Serie B and his performances persuaded Juventus to buy his full rights in January.
However, the 21-year-old didn’t look at home in the Bianconeri shirt and fell out of favour with Claudio Ranieri, leading to him being sent back to Genoa on loan.
“I am working to improve in terms of power and I am becoming more ruthless,” he told Secolo XIX.
“In Serie A, strikers are more physical as well as better technically. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, for example, is one of the strikers who has troubled me most.
“Six months on the bench at Juventus certainly helped me to grow on a personal level.
“It was an important chapter. It helped me to develop and understand the way you have to suffer to get to the top.
“But if both sides made the same offer for me, I would go for Genoa.”
