Roma star reveals reason behind collapsed Juventus move
Speaking to Czech magazine Hattrick, Schick revealed more about his first year in the Italian capital and about the collapsed move to Juventus:
“Juventus management had not given the green light to the transfer after medical visits. I was uncertain about my future: whether to stay at Sampdoria for another year or accept the offer of other teams. In the end I moved to Rome.
“I supported the medical visits with Rome two months later, so after two months of absolute tranquility. I just wanted to go on holiday and relax: I followed a diet and did some exercises and I improved considerably, finding then confirmation from Roma.”
“I did not decide the transfer price. Of course, it's more pressure but I've overcome it. I know I have a lot of responsibilities, but it's right that it is. I am in a big club and it is right that there is this kind of pressure, as there is everywhere. The worst moment is behind me, I hope the best is around the corner.”
