As Antonio Vitiello writes in his latest column for MilanNews, the first two games of the new Serie A campaign have shown that the Rossoneri ‘have signed a super player’, with Pulisic scoring in each game so far.
Few players have managed to score two goals in their first two appearances for the Rossoneri, but Pulisic joins that elite company including Bierhoff, Shevchenko, Balotelli and Menez.
The USA international was signed for €20m and the Milan leadership believe this fee will turn out to be a bargain considering his age, potential and quality.
Back in 2019 Chelsea invested €64m to buy him from Borussia Dortmund but he never truly established the leading role that the London club thought he would due to a combination of factors.
Pulisic is ‘not just a marketing operation’ because he is also a ‘really strong player that Milan strongly wanted’ due to his ‘qyality and tactical intelligence’. He has learned Pioli’s schemes and has hit the ground running.
