Asked about his forthcoming future by TMW Italy, Portuguese international playmaking midfielder Miguel Veloso (30), leaving Dynamo Kyiv as a free agent after 4 seasons, revealed being about to join AS Monaco:
"I can confirm I'm about to join French club, and the deal will be announced in a few days. The fact Monaco will take part into next Champions League has been a key factor. Besides, I will get nearer my home country.
When I look back to my four seasons in Ukraine, I'm definitely happy about them. A return to Italy (Veloso played for Genoa back in 2010/11 and 2011/12, Reporter's Note)? Honestly, there never were serious talks with any Serie A club.
Not being part of Portugal 23-man roster for Euro 2016? Of course I was disappointed. But that's part of our job, and you've got to get along with it".
