The father of AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic says he's happy with his first season in Italy.

The former Chelsea attacker has been outstanding for the Rossonero this term.

Father Mark Pulisic on his podcast stated: "He had everyone's trust: Pioli trusts him, he always lets him play and doesn't replace him immediately if things go wrong. Then he likes Milan and always speaks well of his teammates: Tomori and Giroud helped him a lot when it came to choosing Milan."

“We never spoke to Cardinale during the negotiations. Instead, a Zoom call with Pioli was fundamental: it went very well, Christian understood what the project was for him and said yes.

"But I believe there is a wrong perception: for me it is not true that Christian disappointed at Chelsea. He simply did not 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."

Of Pulisic's future, Mark said: “Football changes quickly and we have understood for some time that this is a business: we can only think in the short term.

“No, let's be clear: Christian loves Milan and wants to stay. He lives in Busto Arsizio to be close to Milanello, he is starting to speak Italian and gets along very well with teammates like Loftus-Cheek and Musah."
