Former Benfica player joins Amorim's Milan, admits: "The call from Milan was a shock"

Diego Moreira, the latest reinforcement for Ruben Amorim's AC Milan, admitted he was "shocked" by the call from the Italian club, describing the opportunity as a chance to be part of "a club with a glorious history." Speaking to the Rossoneri's official channels, the former Benfica winger expressed his determination to make his mark at the Italian giant.

"The call from Milan? It was a shock, because playing here means winning trophies and being part of a club with a glorious history, where so many great champions have played. Milan is a big club with certain expectations, and this is the right time for me to arrive here," stated the 22-year-old attacker, who becomes the tenth Belgian to represent the club.

The left-footed player, who joins Serie A from Strasbourg for a fee of 45 million euros, plus an additional €20 million in bonuses, emphasized the importance of teamwork for achieving success. "It's not possible to achieve any goal without teamwork. I will give my all for my teammates on the field and in training, trying to make our fans happy," he promised.

With clear ambitions, the youngster outlined his goals: "For me, it's important to be happy, and I will try to achieve our objectives, win the league, and everything else we can win. I know what I want and where I want to go. I know what I have to do, and I will do it."

Despite the relaxed image he projects on social media, he assures that he knows how to distinguish between leisure and work. "People see me on social media, where I'm always laughing and dancing, but that doesn't mean it's always like that. I know very well when it's time to work," he explained, adding that the word that best describes him is "joy."
