AC Milan has reached a verbal agreement with American winger Christian Pulisic to extend his contract until the summer of 2031. This is reported by Sport RBC.UA, citing football insider Fabrizio Romano. According to his data, the new agreement will run until June 2031, allowing the club to retain one of its key attacking players for the long term.
Verbal Agreement and Contract Status
The parties have agreed to continue their cooperation, although the official signing of the contract has not yet been announced. The current deal of the 28-year-old American with the Rossoneri runs until the summer of 2027, so the new offer effectively extends his stay in Milan for several more years. As sources note, the final paperwork is expected, but at the time of publication, no official press release has been issued by the club.
Pulisic's Journey at Milan
Christian Pulisic has been playing for AC Milan since July 2023, when he moved from London's Chelsea for 20.8 million euros. Since then, the winger has established himself in the team's starting lineup and become one of its prominent attacking players. The contract extension until 2031 confirms the club's intention to build its play around the American on a long-term basis.
Current Form and Statistics
This season, Pulisic has played seven matches for the Italian club, scoring two goals and providing one assist. These figures reflect his role in Milan's attack at the start of the championship, and the contract extension should motivate the player to continue demonstrating a consistent level.
Season Context: Milan in Serie A
After the opening rounds of the Italian championship, AC Milan occupies fourth place in Serie A with 18 points. The team will play its next match on October 28 against Bologna. Against this backdrop, the agreement to extend the contract with one of the attacking leaders looks like a logical step for a club aiming to fight for top places in the tournament.
