Claudio Marchisio has said that he would prefer to play in the Bundesliga over the Premier League if he were to leave Juventus in the future.

Marchisio has previously been linked with a move to Bayern Munich and the Italy international midfielder has admitted that he is a fan of German football.

"My priority is to stay at Juventus for the remainder of my career, but I am open to trying a new experience abroad in the future," Marchisio told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"The Bundesliga? I really love German football. Their modern stadiums and facilities are great. Games are almost always sold out. And I like the attitude of the German fans. They do not even leave the stadium when their team is trailing by four goals.

"I prefer the Bundesliga over the Premier League."

Marchisio has a contract with Juventus until June 2016.
