ACMilan has announced the renewal of the contract of its American forward, Christian Pulisic, which will extend until June 30, 2031. The news came in the early hours of Friday, when the club, which occupies fifth place in the SerieA table with 18 points, prepares for the duel against Inter on the tenth day of the championship.
Pulisic arrived at the Lombard club in July 2023, after leaving Chelsea, with the expectation of contributing his experience and skill to the attack. Since then, the 28-year-old has scored 44 goals in 141 official games for the team, including two goals in the current Serie A season. His original contract was scheduled to expire at the end of the 2025-26 season, so the extension comes at a time when the club is looking to consolidate its squad to compete in the league and the Champions League.
The club's official announcement highlights Milan's "contentment" with the signing, underlining that the extension guarantees Pulisic's continuity in the squad until 2031. The forward, who has become a key piece of the attack, has demonstrated his ability to score in decisive moments and his adaptation to the Italian style of play. The renewal also reinforces the club's strategy of keeping its most valuable players, preventing them from leaving without a new negotiation.
With the signing, Milan ensures Pulisic's presence in the coming years, which may be crucial for the management's goal of once again competing for the elite of European football. The player, who has been one of the team's main references in the current season, will continue to contribute to the club's performance in SerieA and international competitions. The upcoming match against Inter will be a chance for the striker to prove his worth before the season progresses towards the qualifying phase and the first matches of the Champions League.
