Departing Werder Bremen playmaker Diego has promised Juventus fans plenty of goals as he prepares to move to Turin.

"Soon I will speak Italian and I will repay everyone with goals and victories," Diego explained.

"I did my job at Werder and I will continue to do it at Juventus. I will prepare myself as best as I can to grow from a tactical point of view.

"The objectives are to win and score lots of goals. In this way I can get back into the national team.

"My last game with Brazil was a 0-0 draw against Bolivia on September 10, 2008 at the Maracana. In a recent friendly against Portugal I didn't get on the pitch."

The Brazil international said: "It was a long courtship. We made contact on various occasions, so everything was well defined. Things happen at the right moment.

"I am happy and excited. To have said goodbye to Germany with a trophy was positive. Now I am confident I will be able to show my football in a competitive championship like Serie A.

"I know that at the beginning I will have to adapt, but I have also received the support of the club. I will overcome any obstacles and repay Juventus in goals and victories for the trust they have given me.

"I have dual nationality, but I still do not speak Italian. I understand almost everything, but I am still not ready to speak in public. I will learn it soon.

"From Portuguese, Italian is easier to learn with respect to German. The club will officially unveil me at the beginning of July."
