Christian Pulisic regrets leaving Chelsea for AC Milan, he says.
AC Milan new signing Christian Pulisic has said that he wished he had been given more chances to succeed at Chelsea.
At Stamford Bridge, Pulisic acknowledged that he yearned for more opportunities to establish himself, but he just wasn’t given any. The winger made a total of 58 Premier League games for the Blues, and his playing time increasingly decreased; last year, he only made eight appearances in the top level.
Speaking to ESPN, Pulisic said: “Of course there are definitely times where I wish I could’ve gotten more of an opportunity and been that guy, but yeah, for whatever reason, that’s not the case, and like I said, I’m just so excited for this new challenge and I’m definitely ready and up for it.”
Pulisic’s move to Milan has cost the Italian club £17 million ($22m) and he will aim to make a real impact in Italy, having emerged as a breakout star at Borussia Dortmund prior to his move to west London.
Milan play the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona in pre-season and Pulisic will hope to be involved.
