BREAKING: Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah announces Juventus exit
18th May 2018
Ghanaian international Kwadwo Asamoah has officially announced that he will leave Juventus at the end of season.
In an open statement on his Juventus career released on Friday, the 29 year old clarified his future amid widespread rumors that he is set join Serie A rivals Inter Milan.
Asamoah insists “I had to make this new commitment purely to the interest of my family and it is my hope and wish that the fans would understand and accept this decision”
The former Udinese star thanked the Biaconerri for all the wonderful years he spent at the club.
Here is the full statement below:
“Even though Juventus offered me a new contract, I humbly and respectfully opted to commit myself to a club elsewhere.
He added: “It will be unbearably austere to play against Juventus in future but I had to make this new commitment purely to the interest of my family and it is my hope and wish that the fans would understand and accept this decision”
“I played Juventus with legends and some of the best players in the world, in a golden Juventus generation and will miss them all. To the two great coaches I worked under – Massimilano Allegri and Antonio Conte – and their support staff, I say thank you for making me a better player”
Asamoah leaves Juventus after having established himself as one of Ghana’s most decorated players of all-time, winning six consecutive Serie A crowns, four Coppa Italia titles and three Suppercoppa Italiana trophies during a six year stint.
He also played a vital role as the ‘Old Ladies’ finished as runners up in the 2014-2015 and 2016-2017 editions of the UEFA Champions League.
