“It’s pleasing, but I am not thinking about it,” assured the man who turns 21 next month to Tuttosport.
“I’ve got my feet on the ground, believe in professionalism and am focused only on improving every day, glad to wear the Viola jersey.
“Fiorentina are the ideal club for a young player to grow up and I am very satisfied with my choice to play here. If they were to offer me a new contract, we could talk about it.”
The Viola take on Atalanta tomorrow after a controversial defeat to Inter.
“We gained more confidence from that game, aware that we played very well and didn’t deserve to lose. I don’t want to comment on the refereeing. The club had its say and that’s enough.
“Unfortunately, we paid for a defensive error, but we certainly did not see a gap in quality between Fiorentina and Inter. Stefano Pioli is a great Coach and he is teaching us to both defend and attack more effectively.
“I don’t like comparisons to other players, as I want to find my own path, but I will say my hero has always been Nemanja Vidic.”
