Strootman dismisses move to Juventus

There is an unwritten law in football which dictates that any player who decides to move to another team from the same country who is a direct rival for the title, can be considered a traitor. The AS Roma fans were not happy with Miralem Pjanic's decision to leave the club and make his transfer to Serie A champions Juventus, but up until this moment there hadn't been any player complaining about this controversial move. Well, Dutch midfielder Kevin Strootman just did and he was harsh.

When asked if he would move to Juventus, Strootman quickly responded: "I would never join Juventus like Pjanic. Juventus have won the league five times, the last two quite easily, and they're signing some great players, but we have to focus on winning our own games. Roma must challenge for the Scudetto. We only play Juventus twice a year in the league. They have a great team but Roma should always be in the mix for the title."

Quite the opposite as you can see, the player is actually thinking about extending his contract with the club: "My agent is talking to Roma, not so much about extending my contract straight away, but we're on good terms. I've told the management that I just want to focus on playing for now, not my contract. I've always had the club's support and I want to concentrate on being important for this team."
