Mario Pasalic is proud to play for AC Milan and would relish the chance to sign a permanent deal, his agent has said.
The 21-year-old has battled back from fitness problems to become an important part of Vincenzo Montella's plans at San Siro.
Pasalic struck the decisive penalty as Milan defeated Juventus to win the Supercoppa Italiana last week, although there has been speculation that he could be recalled by Chelsea during the transfer window.
But the midfielder's representative says he already has Milan "in his heart" and is grateful for the belief in his abilities shown by Montella.
