Golllini revealed that he prefered Aston Villa over Juventus.

He told Birmingham Mail now that Juventus wanted him,

“But Villa’s interest was much more solid. They were very determined to take me.

“For me this was a very important thing. When someone really wants you and they think you have great potential, it means they believe in you and this is important.

“With Juventus they have a lot of things going on. If I wanted to see what was going to happen with them I would have had to wait until the very end of the transfer market.

“The interest from Villa was much more solid and I wanted this opportunity. I also think Gianluigi Buffon will play for another two years.

“If he plays in the next World Cup he will be the one with the most appearances in history.

“And if he can’t play, he’s going to play anyway! That’s the way he is! When I was a kid he was my favourite goalkeeper".
