AC Milan are hoping to resolve the long-term future of Christian Pulisic in the coming weeks, and they are confident they will.
As Calciomercato.com write, Pulisic has become one of Milan’s cornerstones since he arrived from Chelsea, but he signed a four-year deal in 2023 and thus at the end of the season he will be 12 months from the expiry of his deal.

Optimism despite stall
Milan would like to secure the USA international with a contract extension and contractual adjustments that reflect his influence. Contacts have been made, and the club’s desire is clear, but negotiations are currently stalled.
There’s been no break-up in sight and no tension, but no concrete steps toward a final conclusion. Pulisic currently earns €4m net, but with a lower tax burden (€5.24m gross) thanks to the Growth Decree.
Pulisic, for his part, is happy in Milan and has repeatedly reiterated that he considers this the right club at the right time. A few months ago, everything seemed ready for him to sign a contract extension until 2029, but then the American international asked for time to evaluate.
With interest from foreign clubs always on the alert (Pulisic turned down a lucrative offer from Al Nassr this summer), Milan do not want to risk letting things run on too long. Locking down Pulisic means strengthening the present and securing his future, but a mutually beneficial agreement is needed.
Igli Tare and Giorgio Furlani are confident they will be able to agree a deal that will see the ex-Chelsea man remain for many more years. The plan is to reconnect with his agent during the next international break, scheduled for early October, with a ‘healthy dose of confidence’.
He ain’t resigning. The reasons are obvious. It’ll be interesting in the January window if some EPL teams have injuries and need a winger.
Not this winter because of the World Cup next summer. But after that… We know what happens when these idiots are confident about anything.
Probably right about being after the WC. His value will decreased with American fans if he’s not playing. I would actually expect a backlash. So those who say ACM won’t sell him because he’s American need to take a step back. American fans, the American market are less welded to a team like European fans are.
Modrić remains able to set the table—but who are our genuine scoring threats? Leão and Pulisic. Those two can go on a tear, but who else? I’m sorry to say no one. That’s one reason why Pulisic hasn’t resigned yet. Santi is a nice enough player, but he doesn’t strike fear in the opponent. Without a greater range of scoring options, it will be difficult to qualify for Europe next year, which saddens me. But at least Leão should be back against Bologna.
Whoever is advising Puli to hold off contract talks is wise. I’d hold off until at least next summer.
Agreed. ACM is a poorly constructed team and Allegri is a manager that doesn’t really use wingers.
Guess you all should stop watching and supporting Milan. The nagging is becoming very unnecessary for a season that just started.
People here loooooooooooooove to b*tch and whine about everything. Absolutely everything. Milan supporters. 😀 😀 😀 More like haters.
