The AC Milan star reportedly made a big decision about the eve of the knockout opener of the Champions League.
AC Milan returns to Champions League promotion on Wednesday with the first stage of their play -off matchup with Feyenoord. The Italian side will be narrow favorites to make progress and they seem to be tying off in the near future to bind an important player.
Since his arrival in the summer of 2023, USMNT star Christian Pulisic has been one of the best players in Italy. In recent months he has attracted interest from the Premier League, with people such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United all interested in his signature.
The Italian journalist Nicolo Schira reports that Pulisic almost corresponds to a contract extension with Milan, links him to the club until 2029 and earns him an annual salary of more than $ 5 million. When he sees the deal, Pulisic remains with Milan for the rest of his 20s.
AC Milan's impressive attacking depth
Despite the form of Pulisic, the 2024/25 season has not met the expectations for AC Milan. Head coach Stefano Pioli left last summer and was replaced by Paulo Fonseca, but the Portuguese boss was fired within a few months. His fellow countryman Sergio Conceição now has the task of getting the best out of a talented team.
In addition to Pulisic, Raphael Leão, Luka Jović and Tammy Abraham in the attacking positions, the Milan -hierarchy added two forwards in the January window. The Mexican striker Santiago Giménez and Chelsea Vooruit João Félix arrived to strengthen the options, giving Congição a frightening attacking line -up. The Milan boss prepares his team for the challenge.
“It's a special game for everyone. It is important, and we are here because of our own fault – we could already be in the round of 16. We want to take responsibility for this, “said Conceição prior to Wednesday's game.
“It is a Champions League match, in a historically difficult stadium. I played there three years ago with Porto. It is a difficult, tough and heated environment. We also have our problems, with players out of operation. We will write the history of the competition because the future is up to us. If we go with the right attitude and bring what we have prepared, then there is a chance to get a good result. “
