AC Milan delight in success of ‘underrated’ USMNT star Christian Pulisic while revealing Jude Bellingham & Vinicius Junior transfer regrets

Serie A

AC Milan

Roma

<p>Geoffrey Moncada used to work as a scout so takes great pleasure in seeing transfer gambles pay off. That has certainly been the case with United States international Pulisic, who has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/top-50-player-best-serie-a-is-christian-pulisic-world-class-former-usmnt-team-mate-explains-standing-ac-milan-forward-global-elite/blt2642638be7d62acb" target="_blank">become a talismanic presence at San Siro</a> on the back of his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ac-milan-star-christian-pulisic-hailed-pushing-reset-button-chelsea-struggles-usmnt-legend-mohamed-salah-comparison/blt72d3f162acb59729" target="_blank">2023 transfer from Chelsea</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Milan have also found value in other additions who were written off elsewhere, with Moncada saying in a case study pieced together by <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=66618 " target="_blank"><em>Harvard Business School</em></a>: “We have to accept it. In recent years we have brought great players to the club, and as a former scout I see it as a personal challenge the objective of taking underrated players and making them perform at the highest level.”</p>

WHAT MONCADA SAID

<p>While the Rossoneri have been able to land the likes of Pulisic, Moncada has revealed that the Serie A giants have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nobody-close-jude-bellingham-after-lionel-messi-cristiano-ronaldo-reset-real-madrid-england-star-ballon-d-or/bltfdb8a5497c76f96e" target="_blank">missed out on a number of other superstars in the making</a>. He added on transfer regrets: “We tried to sign, at the time 17 years old, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham when he was 20, but we could not compete with Real Madrid.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Milan will never be able to compete on a level footing with Galactico-hunting Real in the transfer market, but they will be hoping to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lebron-james-of-soccer-usmnt-star-christian-pulisic-funny-side-nba-goat-comparison-annoys-fans-missing-joke/bltc85559b983ac9627" target="_blank">unearth more hidden gems – such as Pulisic</a> – when further bolstering their ranks in upcoming windows.</p>
