Is Pulisic leaving AC Milan? Rumours ignite after talk of stalled contract emerges
The USMNT star’s future in Milan is all but secure, with rumours regarding stalled contract talks spreading like wildfire.
Dear reader, here is a list of things you don’t want before a major international tournament:
Number 1: an injury
Number 2: a disastrous drop-off in form
Number 3: an uncertain club future
One of these three is enough to derail an entire tournament, so for a player to have two, as Pulisic does right now, is catastrophic.
Contract talks between AC Milan and Christian Pulisic have hit a wall, and for now, there is no clear timeline for when things will become unstuck. In fact, it’s not even a certainty they will.

The American is contracted to the club until 2027, but under the surface the magma is bubbling. In fact, the situation is a bit more advanced than mere bubbles. Milan had been expected to open discussions over a new deal months ago, yet negotiations have slowed to a near standstill, with both sides seemingly content to wait things out rather than rush into an agreement. I still love you, it’s just that I need some time to sort out what I want in life.
From the club’s perspective, there is no immediate pressure to renew Pulisic’s deal. His current contract still has time left on it, and reports suggest Milan would rather reassess the situation once the season wraps up, allowing them to focus on more urgent renewals and, consequently, leave the door open to bids for the player.
Milan’s ambitions, including whether they secure a top-four finish and qualify for the Champions League, could influence financial decisions and squad planning, with Pulisic at the heart of it.
For the player, the paused talks are as welcome as a brick to the temple. His performances have fallen off Mount Rushmore, something that has inevitably influenced the sluggishness surrounding the negotiations. One single assist in 2026 and no goals in 17 paint his form table like a Jackson Pollock.
USMNT forward Christian Pulisic’s contract renewal at AC Milan is ‘further away than ever’ — a standstill as his goal draught continues.

Pulisic is under contract with Milan until the summer of 2027, which means that he will be entering the final year of his deal this summer.… pic.twitter.com/IGmJcse8vK
