Borini ready to become Milan ‘star’

By Football Italia staff

Fabio Borini says he is ready to become a ‘star’ for Milan after affirming ‘I’ve proved worthy’ of the Rossoneri shirt and that he is going nowhere.

Borini joined Milan from Sunderland last summer and has gone on to be a jack-of-all-trades for the Diavolo, making 44 appearances in his usual striking position, out wide and even at right-back.

“My balance sheet for the past season is absolutely positive,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“The expectations for me weren’t very high, but I think I proved to be worthy of the Milan shirt.

“I think I did good things, despite not playing in my natural role most of the time. I’d like to play and not be just a pawn.

“I plan to carve out a starring role. I’m not at Milan just to hole up for the winter but to get back to playing regularly.

“I’m waiting for revenge with Juventus in the Supecoppa. Playing in the first half of August could benefit us, if the Coach doesn’t kill us in preseason…

“My dream is to win a trophy with this shirt, and the Supercoppa would be an excellent start to more important ones.

“Exodus at Milan? For me, certainly not. Generally speaking, I don’t think so. [UEFA] could be a situation that brings us even closer together.

“After that, excuse me but where would I run to? We’re at Milan after all…”
