"Finding the words to describe this moment isn't easy. I joined Milan when I was 5 years old: I was a small, carefree child with a dream in my heart. Making the decision to stop, for the time being, was difficult, but this decision was driven by numerous knee injuries that no longer allowed me to do what I loved. Even when I managed to complete a full week of training and matches, afterward I would stop for weeks or even months."
"I had lost the desire and serenity to work because I was never able to feel physically well, which also significantly impacted my daily routine. I thank those who always supported me in moments of joy, but especially those who stood by me in the most difficult moments. I will always support the team that raised me from an early age and shaped me as a man. Forza Milan"
Vincenzo Perrucci retired from professional football at age 20 after recurring knee injuries repeatedly interrupted his ability to train and play. He joined AC Milan at five years old and described the club as formative in his life. Persistent knee problems forced lengthy absences even after completing full weeks of training, eroding his desire and mental well-being and impacting daily life. Perrucci featured for only 123 minutes across five appearances this season before injuries halted his momentum. He expressed gratitude to supporters and pledged continued support for AC Milan.
