- Pulisic joined Milan in £18m deal
- American revealed talk that convinced him to join
- Pulisic's career stuttered at Chelsea
WHAT HAPPENED? The USMNT star joined Milan this month after a frustrating time at Chelsea. In his first press conference as a Milan player, Pulisic explained what Pioli said in order to convince him to swap the Premier League for Serie A.
WHAT THEY SAID: "The decision to come here came after talking to Pioli, I immediately understood that he wanted me here," said Pulisic. "He told me to be concrete and direct to give everything to this team. The conversation with him didn't last very long but it was enough to convince me to move to Milan."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Pulisic is likely to play an integral part in Milan's attack next season as Pioli rebuilds the side in the wake of the departures of Sandro Tonali and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
