Earlier in the year, reports emerged suggesting that Pulisic was all set to sign a contract extension with Milan. His deadline would be pushed back one year, with a pay rise as recognition for having been the most consistent performer over the past couple of seasons.
However, Matteo Moretto recently confirmed that the American had put a pause on things because he wanted to understand what the clubs plans are moving forward, especially after such a poor 2024-25 season and with no European football to come.
Milan management address rumours
Tare was present in front of journalists at Casa Milan at a press conference to answer questions about the plans for 2025-26 and beyond. Among the topics he was asked about was the future of Pulisic.
“He will be a key player for next season: I will have the opportunity to discuss the renewal with Giorgio at the right time but right now we are only focused on the team,” he said.
“I think he was one of the most positive players last season and he is one of the pillars of the season to come: he has a central role in this group.”
Furlani spoke alongside the new sporting director and he too was quizzed on whether the American will remain or not.
“Christian still has three years left on his contract with Milan: it’s not a super emergency. From the club and ownership point of view, he’s a very important player,” he said.
