Milan Draw Line Under Christian Pulisic Transfer Speculation as Talks Continue

AC Milan have reportedly closed the door on outside approaches for Christian Pulisic even while formal contract talks remain unresolved. The United States captain’s current deal runs until June 2027 and negotiations over an extension have dominated much of 2025 without a definitive outcome.

Speaking on the Men in Blazers podcast, Fabrizio Romano said there are “zero” concrete contacts or negotiations between any Premier League side and Pulisic. Milan regard the forward as “the player at the moment,” one that is “untouchable.” Those assessments have limited the chance of a transfer this winter or next summer despite interest elsewhere.

Pulisic left Chelsea three years earlier and had been linked with Manchester United. He made 145 appearances for Chelsea and became the first American to play in and then win a Champions League final during his time with the club. Reports also placed Al Nassr in the picture, but he reportedly turned down the move and the chance to play with Cristiano Ronaldo to remain at Milan.

The club hopes that a new contract will remove any distraction while the team competes for the Italian title this season. “I expect Milan to return back to the table very soon and to try and offer him a better deal and to find a solution,” Romano said.

Pulisic has been productive since arriving at Milan in 2023, scoring 42 times in 115 appearances and helping the club secure last season’s Italian Super Cup for the first time since 2016. A fresh deal would likely include a material pay rise given his form and his status as USMNT captain.

For now, Milan appear determined to make the extension their priority and to deny suitors the opportunity to negotiate directly with a player they view as central to their ambitions. That stability would also clear focus ahead of Pulisic’s preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
