AC Milan are hoping to renew the contract of Christian Pulisic, but the winger has put the brakes on things for the time being.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan want to tie Pulisic down further with a contract renewal until 2029 at €5m net per season. The captain of the US national team – who arrived in the summer of 2023 for around €20m – has proven to be a true leader of the team with his performances.
It was a proposal that was sent to the former Chelsea player at least two months ago by Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani. Pulisic’s current contract includes an option to renew the current agreement until 2028, but the club’s idea was to reward him with a pay rise and a longer deal.
The negotiations for the renewal were well underway but have slowed down in recent days due to the player’s own will. As Matteo Moretto also reported, Pulisic asked Milan for time because he wants to understand what the plans will be for next season.
The former Dortmund star is an ambitious player who wants to play in the Champions League every season and the 2024-25 campaign, in terms of management, has instilled some doubts about the future.
The will is to wait for the choices that will be made regarding the positions of sporting director and coach, to measure the ambitions of the club. A phase of reflection that has turned on the light of attention from the Rossoneri.
