"There were no contacts, I read and heard something, for me it is a pride to be linked to Real Madrid. To feel comfortable, with your feet on the ground and think about what is to come. It has been a dream season, we managed to reach a historic goal for Atalanta by winning the qualification for the Champions: we are happy and we look forward to play it. "
