Christian Pulisic will not move, at least for now, and will continue to be a player of AC Milan next season. The Rossoneri club has rejected the approach from New York City FC, determined to make the American international one of the key figures of their project before unveiling the stadium in Queens in 2027.

The stance at San Siro is clear: Pulisic is not for sale. Gerry Cardinale does not want to entertain offers for the attacker, and the new coach, Ruben Amorim, also sees him as a critical piece in rebuilding the team in Serie A.

Christian Pulisic, protected by AC Milan despite the MLS offer

The bid from New York City FC was substantial. The American franchise allegedly prepared a contract of 10 million net dollars per season for five years, a very enticing sum to lure the prominent offensive figure of the United States.

However, AC Milan does not consider opening the door. The Italian club believes that selling Christian Pulisic now would send the wrong message in their effort to regain competitiveness. His performance, commercial impact, and leadership in the dressing room carry significant weight.

The 27-year-old American has 33 goals in 87 matches for his national team and is currently playing in the World Cup at home, presenting a massive stage for his talent. Nonetheless, his camp remains silent, and the player prefers to focus on the competition before discussing his future.

New York City FC dreams of a historic transfer

New York City FC's interest reflects an ambitious strategy. The franchise aims to make a media and sporting leap before moving into their new stadium in Queens, scheduled for the summer of 2027, viewing Pulisic as the perfect icon to lead that phase.

His arrival would be a tremendous impact for the MLS, both in sporting level and commercial appeal. Pulisic represents the most recognizable American footballer of his generation, and his return to the country in full maturity would completely shift the landscape.

However, the scenario hinges not just on money. The attacker still has potential in Europe, and AC Milan wants him to remain one of the key figures of the project. Unless there is a drastic change from the player himself, the operation is at a standstill.

Renewal, the major pending issue in Serie A

Christian Pulisic's contract expires in June 2027, and that is where the real tension lies. Talks to extend his deal started a while back but cooled off just when securing an extension until 2030 seemed likely.

The proposed deal was around 5 million euros plus bonuses, with room for growth. Now, following his influence on the team and exposure in the World Cup, the player might request a salary close to or exceeding that of Rafael Leão, who can reach 7 million euros annually with incentives.

For Milan, resolving this matter before the new season kicks off is nearly imperative. They cannot afford their most prominent player to enter the season with contract doubts while other clubs watch closely for any opportunity.

In terms of sports, Pulisic is also grappling with a muscular injury that caused him to miss the match against Australia. It is anticipated that he will return against Turkey, though it remains to be seen if he will start or come off the bench.

Christian Pulisic remains focused in the U.S., but his future is already being decided behind the scenes. AC Milan deems him untouchable, New York City FC dreams of him as a total star, and Serie A hopes the American will stay as one of its major attractions.
