Tuttosport: A €20m bargain with 15 goals – Pulisic now worth double | OneFootball

Christian Pulisic got his first brace for AC Milan during the win over Cagliari on Saturday night at San Siro, and the praise for the winger has continued from the media.

As this morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) writes, Pulisic is experiencing the best season of his career and it is only his first with Milan, given that he has 12 goals in Serie A and 15 in total across all competitions.

His previous record was in the 2019-20 season when with Chelsea he scored nine goals in the Premier League and 11 in total. He also has nine assists for the Rossoneri, for a total of 24 goal contributions for the season.

The purchase of Pulisic for €20m from the Blurs proved to be an excellent investment for Milan, who had long since needed an upgrade on the right wing. Junior Messias and Alexis Saelemaekers were in that role before and although they tried their best, the same level of quality was not there.

Between them, they had scored 22 goals (12 for the Brazilian in two years, 10 for the Belgian in three and a half years) in 208 games ( 68 and 140 ) overall – an average of one goal every 9.45 games. Pulisic managed to surpass both, averaging a goal every 3.2 games.

The Rossoneri’s hope is that it continues like this because Pulisic is now worth at least double the €20m spent, while Messias and Saelemaekers are expected to bring in €13.5m in total.
