Antonio Nocerino says leaving Milan for Orlando City was ‘a solution that would be good for everyone’ and looks forward to being an ‘integral part’ again.
The midfielder’s Rossoneri contract was rescinded on Tuesday ahead of his move to join former San Siro great Kaka at the MLS club.
“I’ve always said that I’d like an experience abroad, it arrived and I grabbed it,” Nocerino said to SportItalia.
Antonio Nocerino says leaving Milan for Orlando City was ‘a solution that would be good for everyone’ and looks forward to being an ‘integral part’ again.
The midfielder’s Rossoneri contract was rescinded on Tuesday ahead of his move to join former San Siro great Kaka at the MLS club.
“I’ve always said that I’d like an experience abroad, it arrived and I grabbed it,” Nocerino said to SportItalia.
“I don’t expect anything from Milan, my needs regarded feeling good and choosing a project where I would really feel an integral part, with facts and not just words.
“I stayed with the Rossoneri to get my chance, I wanted to put myself into the discussion and find a space.
“I will always be grateful to Milan for what they gave me and made me become. I had many requests from abroad and didn’t turn any away.
"I’ve never thought about money because it’s very clear why I went to Parma to play for free and it’s a decision I would make another thousand times because they gave me so much and I worked with a top man and Coach like Donadoni.
"In these last few months with my family I’ve looked for a solution that would be good for everyone and in the end I chose Orlando.”
