Yunus Musah aims to win trophies with AC Milan, targeting Serie A, Coppa Italia and the Italian Supercoppa this season and international success at the World Cup. Musah withdrew from the USMNT Gold Cup for a personal reason, explaining that he needed to rest and recharge after a taxing season. He said coaches were disappointed but that the rest was necessary to stay in good shape and perform throughout the club season and for the national team. The decision attracted criticism, but Musah emphasized player welfare and long-term performance management at age 22.
"The nearest goals and achievement for me are winning trophies here at Milan," he tells ESPN. "This season we have the possibility to win three trophies [ Serie A, Coppa Italia, Italian Supercoppa]. I'd love to win all three of them. And also then go to the national team and win more trophies as well." So, a club treble in Italy followed by the FIFA World Cup? "That's it!"
"The coaches were all disappointed that I didn't go but ultimately I needed to make that decision for myself because I needed to switch off after a tough season. I needed that time off. Ultimately it was to take that period off then so that I could be in good shape to be able to carry on now the whole season and be able to give my best for club and the national team."
