Christian Pulišić is close to tying his future to AC Milan until 2031. Sky Sport Italia said the signing should arrive in the next few days, while reports around the deal point to a contract that rewards his strong start to the 2026-27 Serie A season.
Pulisic's early-season case
The football case for moving quickly is obvious. Pulisic has 2 goals and 1 assist in 5 Serie A matches this season, and his latest goal came in Udine in a win that kept Milan moving in the right direction.
His numbers back up the impression of a player carrying real weight in the attack. He has also posted a 7.41 Serie A rating and already logged 357 minutes, which is a heavy early load for a player Milan clearly want to keep central to the team.
Pulisic also sounded comfortable with that standing when he spoke to TuttoMercatoWeb. "Me a leader? There are many, I talk a lot but I try to show it on the pitch. Right now the match against Bologna is important."
The contract and the pay rise
The financial side of the deal is straightforward enough. Reports say Pulisic would earn €5m per season, plus add-ons, up from €4m, which lines up with the club's decision to move him towards a longer commitment.
There is still a small difference between what is effectively done and what is officially signed, but the direction is clear. Milan are pushing to secure him long term, and the renewal talk reflects how quickly he has become one of their most productive attackers.
Pulisic joined Milan from Chelsea in 2023, and the club now appear ready to extend that spell before the season moves much further on. Once the paperwork is completed, the focus will shift back to the pitch, starting with Bologna and the rest of Milan's Serie A run.
