Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul is without a doubt one of the finest midfielders in the Serie A right now. He is one Juventus' top transfer targets and he has now admitted that though he remains loyal to his club, he dreams about playing in the UEFA Champions League.

“I always want more. It must be crazy the feeling you get when you play against a fourth or a Champions League semi-final. I’m sure I’ll play them sooner or later, if you work well you can reach your goals.
“I want to be prepared for that moment, I don’t want to force anything, I’ll leave Udine at the right time. The queens of Europe ? I immediately think of Bayern Munich, but not only that: PSG also has a crazy quality.
“Then there are the usual teams like Barcelona (which always has an extra man, Messi, it is as if they played in 12), then Real Madrid and Juventus “.
