“My move to Milan was very important to me. It’s a huge step in my career,” Prithic said.
“It’s great to wear a Milan shirt. There were legendary players in the history of this club, and every time I wear a Milan jersey, it’s an honor.
“I had a great time in London, but I needed a big club that really wanted me and gave me the opportunity as soon as I came here, to take my next step,” he continued.
“Serie A is a really great league. It’s crazy. You’re trying every week, whether you’re on the low block or against one-on-one. It’s a really fun league to play.
“I am extremely grateful because this club has given me everything and I remember as someone who gives me 100% every time I go out into that field.
“The environment is the most important thing. Everyone in Milan has made me very welcoming. Coaches, staff, boards, fans. The most important thing. How can I forget? I think they gave me the support I had from the first game.
Purisic about life in Italy
The American star enjoys life in Italy, even off the pitch.
“I enjoy my passion for the game, my football. It’s really weird in this country, especially in Milan,” he said.
“Because they’re interfans because wherever I go, someone loves me or hates me. It’s pretty cool and it’s really special.
“I am very proud of where my family came from. My grandfather and grandmother on the Croatian side also have Italian blood. I am always very proud of that. I grew up throughout my entire life in the United States.
“I’m always trying to do my best and represent my country. I don’t feel much pressure from the American people. I mean I need to be such a symbol. I’m always trying my best. I think that’s enough for people.
Pulisic also discussed his passion for the game and how he fell in love with the beautiful game.
“One of the reasons I started to love soccer is that I go straight to the ground all day, after school, playing,” he said.
“Giving kids the opportunity to do this may make them fall in love with the game just like me and develop passion. Football is growing a lot in America. I want to see it as a leader. I hope that not only is I do with the varsity team, but I hope that I will perform at the club, what I do every day.
Pulisic’s contract with Milan expires in 2027, but recent reports in Italy suggest that Rossoneri is ready to offer a new deal in 2029, when he is 26 years old.
