But on Inter, he told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “It wasn’t an easy period for me.
“I had a fast start to my career, at 16 I was already a professional in Salzburg, then the Bundesliga, then Inter and then the slowdown.
“I wasn’t playing at Inter, and then I found myself constantly on loan. It was tough, I got help from a mental coach.
“But I never gave up and I never stopped believing in my abilities. I waited for my chance and eventually found a team like Torino where I could play for years to come.
“The move worked and I’m very grateful to the club. I want to give everything on the pitch to repay the management and the fans.”
