Christian Pulisic has become an absolute priority for AC Milan, but his renewal is not progressing at the expected pace.

The Rossoneri club wants to secure the American before he enters a dangerous phase of his contract, although the financial gap remains open.

Christian Pulisic asks for a salary increase from AC Milan

Christian Pulisic is under contract until 2027, and AC Milan knows they cannot let the situation prolong too much. The winger arrived from Chelsea and quickly made an impact at San Siro. His influence has been sporting, media-related, and also commercial.

In Italy, he is seen as a strategic piece for both the present and the future. Not only for his goals but for everything he represents. RedBird's ownership understands that Christian Pulisic connects AC Milan with the American market like few other players in the squad.

This becomes more crucial with the upcoming World Cup in North America. Pulisic will be one of the main faces of the United States in the tournament. Therefore, Gerry Cardinale wants to ensure his continuity. The aim is to make him one of the mainstays of the Rossoneri project.

As reported in the Gazzetta dello Sport, the issue lies in the salary. The player's entourage has reportedly requested close to 8 million euros annually. That figure surpasses the framework that AC Milan is trying to maintain in its locker room, even compared to Rafael Leão's contract.

Serie A closely monitors Christian Pulisic's future

Serie A has witnessed an inconsistent version of the American in recent months. His physical issues and lack of goals have sparked debate. Christian Pulisic ended the season with less consistency than expected. Nevertheless, the club has no doubts about his value.

AC Milan believes that his downturn is a combination of wear and tear, discomfort, and external noise due to a cooling-off negotiation. On the field, the American remains a game-changing player when on form. He attacks spaces, breaks lines, and offers solutions on the flanks.

Additionally, his name carries significant weight for the Milan brand in Italy. Selling him or letting him go would be a blow both in sporting and economic terms. The sports management aims to avoid any signs of weakness. If the contract is not extended, other clubs might start to make moves.

Italy awaits a crucial decision from Milan

AC Milan does not want to break its salary scale for a single player. That's the line explaining the current deadlock. The club would be willing to improve its conditions, but not up to 8 million. The negotiation requires patience and balance.

Christian Pulisic, on his part, wants to continue. His entourage has not closed the door, but they believe his role deserves recognition. The situation demands careful consideration of each step. Offering too little could strain the relationship further; offering too much could disrupt the locker room.

Milan needs leaders to compete strongly in Serie A again. Pulisic fits into that plan if he regains consistency. There is also a need for institutional stability. After a demanding season, the club cannot afford another open conflict with a key star.

The renewal, therefore, is not just a contractual matter. It is a statement about the sporting model that AC Milan aims to build. If both parties adjust their positions, the agreement could be revived. If not, the next transfer window will inevitably cast its future under the spotlight.

Christian Pulisic wants to feel valued, and AC Milan wants to retain him, but the 8 million figure threatens to turn the renewal into a major issue in Italy.
