There’s no doubt that the €20m paid by AC Milan to sign Christian Pulisic from Chelsea last summer was much worth it.
With 12 goals and eight assists for the Rossoneri so far, the player is finally finding some redemption following his struggles in London.
Milan News today shares some quotes from Pulisic’s father.
Mark Pulisic mentioned his son’s time at Chelsea. When asked whether the player is having the best season of his life, he made sure to claim his son did not do so bad with the Blues.
“However, I think there is a wrong perception: for me it is not true that Christian disappointed at Chelsea. He simply didn’t play regularly. And then I tell you, for me he is now reaching his peak: he is 25 years old, he works hard to develop his game and is respected by his teammates,” said Mark Pulisic.
Chelsea spent €64m to sign Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund in 2019. In the four years he spent at the Stamford Bridge side, he managed 26 goals and 21 assists in 145 games, and it will be no surprise if he reaches those numbers with just a couple of seasons at Milan should he continue his current form.
The US international didn’t play much in his final season in London, both because of injury issues and due to manager’s decision. Now it seems he’s found the perfect place to prove himself and do what he struggled to achieve at Chelsea.
