Tommaso Pobega says he's happy at AC Milan.

The midfielder spent last season on-loan with Torino.

He told Tuttosport ahead of Milan facing Toro this weekend, “I learned that I would stay at Milan at the end of the summer, talking to the coach and directors.

“It wasn't difficult to reach an agreement because I wanted to stay. Being here is a step forward and a new phase in my path."

Asked if Toro coach Ivan Juric had asked him to return, Pobega added: “Yes, he did, but I had to talk to Milan first. My target was to return to Milan every time I left on loan, it has never changed.

“I've improved year by year, and I think I deserve this opportunity."
