Antonio di Natale Happy He Stayed On With Udinese

Udinese striker Antonio di Natale has revealed that he has no regrets rejecting Juventus last summer.

Udinese are in a good position to finish in the top four this season.

The Italian international told Il Guerin Sportivo magazine : “I stayed in Udine because of the people at this club,”.

“I am 33 years old, no longer 20, so I have different priorities. I was happy to stay at a professional club where it feels like you’re in a family atmosphere.

“Of course we talked it over with my actual family too and I am the one who decides when it comes to my work, but quite simply none of us wanted to go to Turin.

“I took a couple of days to think it over. I spent them at my football school and all temptation disappeared. Will I remain at Udinese? I really think I will.”
