During my time at Juventus, the number of foreign players allowed went up from two to three, Laudrup tells FourFourTwo when asked how his move to Barcelona came about. Platini retired, Ian Rush came in, and then one season later they also signed Rui Barros and Oleksandr Zavarov. That made four, and since I'd been there the longest, I thought that I'd be the one they'd let go. I was a little disappointed, but PSV were interested and had just won the European Cup.

Around two weeks later, they contacted my father and said, We've been talking about it internally and given that Michael's very young, we think he needs a season to adapt, so we think we should make it a three-plus-one contract four years in total. My father said that was OK, but Liverpool then told him it would be for the same terms as the previously agreed three-year deal.
