Reports from Friday indicate a complete standstill in contract discussions between AC Milan and Christian Pulisic. This stalemate coincides with a worrying trend of goal drought for the USMNT star.
Pulisic’s current contract with Milan is set to expire in the summer of 2027, meaning he will enter the final year of his deal this summer. While the club holds an option to extend this agreement by an additional 12 months, until the summer of 2028, they do not appear to be in a rush to offer a new contract. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, neither the club nor the player’s agent are actively seeking further discussions in the near future.
This lack of urgency is partly attributed to Pulisic’s concerning goal drought. He has not scored for club or country in 2026. If he fails to find the net against Juventus in Serie A this weekend, it will mark over four months since his last goal, a stark contrast to the eight goals he had scored before the new year.
Conversely, reports suggest that Pulisic still possesses potential transfer options, particularly within the Premier League.
The long-term future of Pulisic at Milan remains uncertain. However, current reports suggest that the USMNT star is no longer considered an indispensable player, and a sale could be considered if a suitable offer is received.
Milan and Pulisic Contract Talks Stall Amid Goal Drought
Negotiations for a new contract between AC Milan and Christian Pulisic have reportedly reached a deadlock. This situation is exacerbated by the American winger’s ongoing struggle to score goals.
English Translation:
Reports on Friday suggest that AC Milan and Christian Pulisic are at a complete standstill in talks over a potential new contract, as the USMNT star’s concerning goal drought continues.
Pulisic is under contract with Milan until the summer of 2027, meaning he will enter the final year of his deal this summer. The club has an option to extend his contract by a further 12 months, until the summer of 2028.
Despite Pulisic’s contract winding down, Milan doesn’t seem to be in any immediate hurry to offer him a new deal. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, “neither the club nor the player’s agent are pushing to see each other again” anytime soon.
This is partly due to a worrying goal drought: Pulisic has not scored for club or country in 2026. If he doesn’t score against Juventus in Serie A this weekend, it will have been over four months since his last goal, despite having scored eight goals before the new year.
On the other hand, Friday’s reports claim that Pulisic still has potential options in the transfer market, especially in the Premier League.
It remains to be seen what happens with Milan and Pulisic in the medium to long term, but Friday’s reports indicate that the USMNT star is no longer untouchable and that a sale might be considered if an appropriate offer comes in.
