Milan youth academy teammates Davide Calabria and Manuel Locatelli paid tribute to new Wolves buy Patrick Cutrone. “This is the harsh reality.”

Of the three Italian talents who came up through the ranks at San Siro, only Calabria remains in the squad, as Locatelli was sold to Sassuolo and Cutrone today joined Wolves.

“Brother, I still can’t believe it, but this is the harsh reality,” wrote Locatelli on Instagram.

“From kids making their debuts to the senior squad, a story we can tell to children who are chasing the same dreams we had. That dream that after eight years we could look each other in the eye and say, we did it.

“You were the perfect incarnation of what it means to be Milan. I wish you the best, because you deserve it. Life forces us to make choices and we have to take them. I hope for you that this is the right path. I am convinced that with your determination and hunger, you’ll give your all and prove yourself in England too.

“Distance can never be a problem for us, and we’ve already proved that. I can only say that I’ll always be here for you. All the best, my brother.”

Calabria also sent a message to Cutrone via Instagram.

“It’ll be strange, so very strange, after all these years not to be in the same dressing room, wearing the same shirt, not having you constantly under my feet at Milanello. But that is football. That is life.

“You already know everything I think and what you need to do. It won’t be easy, but with your grit, you’ll manage it. I wish you the best, my friend, I will miss you.”

Cutrone himself also posted his farewell to Milan and its fans.

“I wanted to tell you so many things, but I don’t know where to start… Dear Milan, that’s what it’s like.

“You welcomed me at the age of eight, I was a child who dreamed of scoring a goal at San Siro. Now I have grown up, as a player and a man. Rossonero, on the field and in life. An immense honour.

“Thank you so much to everyone: the staff, my teammates. And a huge embrace for my fans. You will always be in my heart: you made me feel loved in every moment.

“For me, leaving a positive memory in your hearts is the greatest victory. I wish the best to the club that I love, my teammates and you fans! With all of my heart, which is red and black, Patrick. Forza MILAN.”

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Fratello non ci credo ancora ma questa è la realtà. Dagli esordienti B alla prima squadra,una storia da raccontare ai bambini che inseguono il nostro stesso sogno. Quel sogno che dopo 8 anni ci siamo guardati e abbiamo detto ce l’abbiamo fatta. Tu incarnavi il Milanismo alla perfezione. Vorrei scriverti tante cose ma per il momento ti auguro il meglio perché te lo meriti per la persona che sei. La vita ci mette di fronte a delle scelte e noi le dobbiamo prendere. Spero per te che questa strada sia quella giusta, sono convinto che con la fame e la grinta che solo tu hai darai il massimo di te stesso e farai vedere quanto vali anche in Inghilterra. La distanza non potrà mai essere un problema per noi e lo abbiamo già dimostrato. Posso solo dirti che per te ci sarò sempre . In bocca al lupo fratello #locatelli #cutrone #ml73 #PC63
