PSG midfielder Leandro Paredes admits he regrets turning down Juventus.

Paredes says had the chance to join Juve when a youngster with Boca Juniors.

“When Juventus came in to buy me in 2011, the director of sport wanted me to play as a midfield playmaker, sort of the understudy to Pirlo," said Paredes.

“I told him he was crazy. In the end, I stayed at Boca.

"I thought at the time that I would never play that kind of midfield role, but that was a mistake."
