Federico Bernardeschi admits he regrets moving to Toronto FC.

The 29 year-old midfielder also says he'd welcome a return to former club Juventus.

It was not like everyone expected, starting from the club. We have had many difficulties, there have been changes of coaches and probably it was the wrong project," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Personally, I had a decent season, it was a nice experience in a totally different football, where trips are longer and it's not simple logistically.

"It takes a period of time to adapt, I've learned a lot and finally, I've recovered from groin issues after one and a half years of struggles."

Bernardeschi added: I've developed as a man and as a footballer at Juventus. A piece of my heart has remained there. I will always be there for Juventus and I still have a house in Turin."
