You’ve been selected to the national team simultaneously as you’re about to take your graduation and back home in Italy your manager is on his way to AC Milan. How do you find yourself doing in the middle of this storm?
“The last couple of days I’ve only focused on my graduation, 24 hours of the day. I haven’t read the various media.”
What do you think about Giampaolo being on his way to Milan?
“I haven’t read much in the media about Giampaolo leaving, but I’m happy for him. I’m also a little disappointed as he’s leaving. He’s been a really good manager for me.”
Do you dream of following him?
“I can’t respond to that and I don’t know my future, but Milan is a great club”.
Andersen has also been rumoured to be a target for Arsenal, who’ve reportedly already had a bid rejected for him by Sampdoria owner Massimo Ferrero.
