WHAT HAPPENED?

Both have caught the eye in Milan, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-mvp-ac-milan-usmnt-star-huge-billing-alexi-lalas-brilliant-15-goal-debut-season-italy/blt3ac570d64eb6fecc" target="_blank">Pulisic posting a personal-best goal return of 15 efforts</a> in the 2023-24 campaign.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

That mass appeal has been highlighted in a study conducted by Men in Blazers and YouGov, which has looked into the growth of Italian football across the States. They have found that Milan’s fan base in the U.S. has increased by 50%, while overall interest in Serie A has risen 27%.

DID YOU KNOW?

Milan have been working hard on attracting a younger audience, with the pull of Pulisic and Musah crucial to that cause. The Rossoneri have opened an academy in Virginia, while their Junior Camp project will engage with 24 North American cities this summer.
