Mirko Vucinic has spoken of his excitement after completing his €15 million switch to Juventus.

The 27-year-old Montenegro striker signed a four-year deal with the Bianconeri on Monday after five years with Roma.

Speaking to www.juventus.com, Vucinic said: “I am excited and happy to be at Juventus. Roma will always be in my heart, but that chapter is now closed and I have to give my all to my new club.

“I am happy to join Juventus. I can play as first or second striker, or on the wing. Whichever role, I’m happy to play in it.

“And if (coach Antonio) Conte finds me a fourth position, I’m at his disposal.”

Vucinic becomes the first Montenegrin to represent Juventus, and current Montenegro Football Federation president and former Milan forward Dejan Savicevic believes the transfer will be a significant boost to the Old Lady’s fortunes after a disappointing seventh-place finish last season.

“With him, the Bianconeri can get back to winning ways. He’s a great player, one of the best five or six strikers in the world,” Savicevic was reported as saying.

Although they face a second year in a row out of the Champions League, Vucinic believes Juve can compete with the best.

“Juve are a great team, we’re made to win,” he said.

“I’m not bothered that we’re not playing in the Champions League, this year we’ve got a good team.

“We’ll try to qualify for (next season’s) Champions League and win as many games as possible.”
