Udinese midfielder Rolando Mandragora admits playing again for parent club Juventus is an ambition.

Mandragora suffered a cruciate ligament injury in June and revealed he hopes to be back in the Friuli team before the end of the year.

He has a contract until June 2025 with Juventus, but an option for a further year at the Dacia Arena.

He said, “In a dark period, that of the injury, Juve believed in me and this is a source of great pride.

“I will do everything to earn that shirt, it's a dream and a goal and everything comes from the performances with Udinese.

“By building on the pitch, I can reach Juventus and play with very strong players. It would be a privilege to be coached by a great former player like [Andrea] Pirlo."
