He was subsequently sold to Udinese by Bayer Leverkusen and he said at his presentation yesterday: "Before the European Championship I had already decided. I believe that Udinese is the perfect club for me to grow and improve. 

"I love (Fernando) Torres and my idol is Cristiano (Ronaldo). I hope to score many goals, I hope 10 or 15."

On Udinese winger Gerard Deulofeu, he said: "I've known him since the days of La Masia, he was a reference for me. We spoke in recent days and I hope that he can be available again soon."

On Spain's senior Euros win, he added: "I see myself at that level in a couple of years, perhaps already at the World Cup with Nico (Williams) and Lamine (Yamal)."

While on last season's loan with Real Madrid, Bravo replied: "Nothing happened, it's not a problem that they decided not to execute the purchase option. It's a great club, with the best players in the world, they took the their decision and I'm happy here."
