No idea how well he's playing for Milan as I have seen very little of them this season, but I sure do not put as much weight as some do on national call ups. Unless the player is a regular player for his nation, then an occasional call up really doesn't mean as much as newspapers try to make it sound - calling an once capped crap player a "Brazilian international" seems to be one of their favourite tactics to spice up some rumours. Lots of terribly average players have been called up and played a few times even for the best national teams such as Brazil, Spain, Germany, Italy and so on.
