Agent speaks out about player switching to Chelsea in January

 

Croatian midfielder Mario Pašalić signed for AC Milan on loan from Chelsea at the start of the season.

However, AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella has opted to leave him out of the team so far, and the 21-year-old is yet to make his debut for the Serie A club.

Reports suggest Pasalic’s loan deal is set to be cut short, and he could return to Chelsea in January. The rumours have been dismissed by Pasalic’s agent, Federico Pastorello, in an exclusive interview with Italian website Calciomercato.it.

Pastorello insists the Croatian is yet to play a match because he hasn’t built up enough physical training as he was still recovering from an injury.

He said: “He has no problems of acclimatisation, or physical problems. He has not played because according to coach Montella he is a little ‘back in physical condition’ because he didn’t do the physical training with the others as he was still recovering from injury.

“He made only played two friendly games since he arrived. His time is coming soon.”

AC Milan play Sassuolo in Serie A next, and it remains to be seen if Pasalic will be called up for the match.
