Moretto: Milan plot talks over Pulisic’s future – why previous agreement was never signed

AC Milan are planning to sit down and discuss a new deal with Christian Pulisic, but there is nothing scheduled in at present.

Pulisic arrived in Milan in the summer of 2023 from Chelsea and he has become the most decisive player in the league, at least as per La Gazzetta dello Sport’s recent report. He already has eight goal contributions in seven games this season, including what ended up being the winner against Napoli.

There was talk back in June that a contract extension was imminent for the USA international, but then it became clear that things had been put on hold by the player’s side, given he wanted guarantees over the ambition of the project.

Pulisic renewal update

Matteo Moretto gave an update on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel in which he spoke about Pulisic’s situation and the growing urgency to agree a new long-term contract.

“Pulisic’s contract expires in 2027, but Milan have the option to extend it until 2028. However, in the Rossoneri’s mind, the contract expires in 2028. The parties had reached a basic agreement in February regarding an extension with adjustments, but no signatures were reached.

“At the time, we were talking about a contract until 2028 plus one year, with a salary of up to €5m. At a certain point, for reasons of sporting guarantees, the boy decided to take his time. There is certainly a desire to discuss it again.

“As of today, since the contract expires in 2028, it is not among the immediate priorities at this time, in the sense that there is no fixed date, but the parties certainly want to discuss it again because the player deserves this kind of reward.”
