Pulisic’s Drought, Fitness Questions Put Spotlight on Milan Contract Pause

Milan signals patience on a renewal to preserve leverage during a dip in form.

Overview

  • Contract talks are paused, with reports pointing to a mutual preference to continue and Milan protected by a club option through 2028.
  • Christian Pulisic has not scored a competitive goal in 2026, with muscle issues and bursitis disrupting his rhythm despite a recent assist against Torino.
  • Transfermarkt cut his market value to $54 million from $69 million, moving him out of Serie A’s top five most valuable players.
  • Milan is concerned about fatigue from upcoming USMNT friendlies against Belgium and Portugal, with long flights that could affect his readiness for the next league match.
  • Club legend Massimo Ambrosini said Milan may need to sell to fund reinforcements, even as he highlighted Pulisic’s importance to the U.S. market.
