Pasalic: "I don't want to go back to Chelsea in January"

Mario Pasalic joined Chelsea in 2014 from Hajduk Split. Unitl now, he has spent all the season on loan: He played fro Elche, Monaco and currently he's playing for Milan.

He joined the Serie A team in August on a season-long loan but wishes to stay with them. He made last week his debut against Pescara and got hailed by his boss. 

The 21-year-old told 'Goal': "I thank coach Montella and chief [Adriano] Galliani for nice words about me. That means a lot but it will not make me fly. I will just give my best to be at a high level, worthy of a club like Milan. It is a big pleasure to play at San Siro.

"I was calm [about rumours of returning to Chelsea] and just trained. Stories about me leaving Milan didn't distract me. I feel how the coaches treat me; it was enough for me to stay and proof that the club want me to stay," he explained.

"I am thrilled to finally play for Milan. I think I have done very well. I had two good chances; too bad I didn't score. I felt a big relief after my debut. I have waited for so long and worked hard for that moment," he said.

Let's see if his dream will come true.
