Sacchi made his comments in an interview, emphasizing the importance of a player's commitment to the club. He said that AC Milan must be a player's first choice, not a second-best option. He also stressed the need for reliability and a willingness to sacrifice oneself for the team and teammates.

Sacchi compared Hojlund to the great Dutch striker Marco van Basten, saying that Hojlund is a decent player but not on the same level. He questioned the pursuit of Hojlund, given the shortage of strikers, but noted that the player must want to come to Italy and be committed to the team.

Sacchi also expressed confusion about Hojlund's decision to consider AC Milan's offer. He emphasized that the club comes first, and players should be thankful to be signed, not the other way around.

Sacchi concluded by highlighting the differences between AC Milan and Manchester United, suggesting that a player would be better off choosing the Italian club for a permanent position.
