He added: "I am very grateful to the fans. They have shown me a lot of affection since I joined. Since I officially joined, I was still at River Plate, and my focus was on that. When I arrived in Madrid, my focus was already on this club, the greatest club."

He continued: "I am an attacking player, left-footed, and I almost always shoot from the right. I don't like to describe myself as a player; let others do that. But I assure you that I will do my utmost to help the team and to win the sympathy of Real Madrid fans, I will play anywhere, my goal is to help the team in whatever way Chabi sees fit, any decision he makes will be suitable for me."

My grandparents told me about Di Stefano and what he meant for world football and for this club. It is an overwhelming joy to be able to move from River Plate to the biggest club in the world."

Regarding Argentinians in La Liga: "In my opinion, Real Madrid is the greatest club in the world. Messi meant a lot to Barcelona and to the Argentinians who watched him play. I am here to leave my mark, and I want Real Madrid fans to be happy with what I present on the field."

He added: "The best player in the world for me is Lionel Messi, I am Argentine and I believe he has been the best player in recent years."

Regarding interest from Paris Saint-Germain: "I received interest from various clubs and I am very grateful, the interest of clubs in signing is beautiful, I was lucky to have the opportunity to talk to Enrique who was very clear with me, I thank him and congratulate him on his victory yesterday.. and I express my gratitude and appreciation to him."

Regarding his adaptation in Europe: "I will wait until tomorrow and train to know better, I am ready and hope to be ready to help the team as soon as possible, without negatively affecting or finding it difficult."

About getting the number 30, he concluded: "I requested to get this number from the president and he agreed, it is a special number for me because I wore it at River Plate and I was excited to continue using it, and fortunately, that is what happened."
