He has been capped 40 times for his country since his debut in 2016 and revealed why he chose the Azzurri over the nation of his birth.
"They tried to convince me, but in the end I chose Italy, otherwise I would have been ungrateful," he told Globoesporte.
"It would not be bad to win the World Cup. The Champions League and the Euros can't be underestimated, but the World Cup goes beyond anything else. We won't be the favourite in Qatar, but we can't even go unnoticed as we won the Euros."
