is funny, and the past three months have been full of rumors. You're simply tired of seeing your name on social media. All of this is a bit ridiculous.

I don't think people understand how bizarre things are when the transfer is about to come. This is not a FIFA game on PlayStation, you know? You sit on the sofa at home, trying to figure out what's going on, and so many people are sending you random messages saying "Hey, man, you should go to this club."

I'm like, "Oh, is that? Then are you their manager? Because they haven't even called me!"

Even if a big club calls, it feels like... OK, but do they really need me? Should I be a leader or as a backup signing? These questions really disturb your mind, and eventually, you have to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what you really and really want inside.

Well, I want to go to a place that will make me the best I am.

And to me, that place is Bayern.

Honestly, I have other very good quotes. I really like the idea of ​​going abroad, learning a new language, and experiencing a new culture. But for me, I end up going back to my personal growth, the people around me, and the cultural atmosphere. And I will join one of the top clubs in the world with a very, very special coach.

When Kompany played for Hamburg, I started to pay attention to him, and at that time I was a kid who dreamed of playing for my hometown team. You can tell he is about to be one of the best centre-backs in the world, and I really admired him at that time. Now that he has become one of the leaders of his generation, I admire him even more. We both have an African father and an European mother. For me, there has always been a special connection between them.

Once you talk to him, you can feel his passion, his thoughts and his values. Like Alonso, he first treats you as a person, and secondly, a professional player. He talked to me about how I would fit into the team and how he would help me become a better central defender.

This is exactly what I want to hear. I'm happy to serve under his command.

Ultimately, I got everything I wanted here in Germany.
