About a potential return to the Nerazzurri after his loan is finished, the 19-year-old reflected that he would be happy to play for Inter eventually, as he is a lifelong fan of the club.
“Who knows, I’m an Inter fan,” he stated, continuing “I’ve always been an Interista, it’s one of my goals but now I’m just focusing on the coming season.”
Lastly, Pirola was full of praise for the senior Inter squad, and spoke positively about his interactions with them.
“They have always helped me,” he said, “I have always found very helpful teammates who give me lots of advice to help me grow and make me feel part of the group. Despite being the youngest in the squad, it was fundamental for my growth in the team, to feel their closeness.”
