Christian Pulisic has agreed to extend his stay at AC Milan, with the new contract slated to run until 2031. The 28‑year‑old American winger, who joined the Serie A club in 2023 for a fee of roughly €22 million, will now be tied to the Rossoneri for an additional four years beyond the original expiry in June 2027. Sources confirmed the deal to ESPN, and the official announcement is expected within the coming days.

Pulisic’s journey to Milan began in 2015 when he signed for Borussia Dortmund, quickly becoming one of the Bundesliga’s brightest prospects. In 2018, Chelsea snapped him up for £58 million, a record for an American at the time. While at Chelsea he was part of the squad that lifted the 2021 Champions League, but recurring injuries hampered his development and limited his appearances. In 2023, AC Milan outbid Juventus, Lyon and Galatasaray to secure his services, a move that saw the club strengthen its attacking options.

Since arriving, Pulisic has made 141 appearances for Milan, scoring 44 goals and providing 28 assists. He finished as the club’s top scorer in the 2024‑25 season, underscoring his importance to the team. His versatility has been a key asset under manager Ruben Amorim, who has deployed him both as a central playmaker in the number‑10 role and on the flanks. After missing most of the preseason due to a World Cup‑related injury, Pulisic reintegrated steadily into the first team and has become a core component of Milan’s tactical plans.

On the international stage, Pulisic remains a linchpin for the United States men’s national team. With 33 goals in 90 caps, he has represented the U.S. at both the 2022 and 2026 World Cups. His consistent performances have earned him the U.S. Soccer Male Player of the Year award on four occasions (2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023). The extension with Milan reflects the club’s confidence in his continued contribution and the player’s desire to further his career in Italy.

The new contract will secure Pulisic’s future at Milan through the 2030‑31 season, allowing both parties to focus on on‑field ambitions without the distraction of contract negotiations. With the deal soon to be formalised, fans can look forward to seeing the American star continue to shape Milan’s attacking play in the coming years.
