Massimiliano Allegri’s masterplan starts here: Milan set to reward Christian Pulisic with blockbuster deal – New contract details spark buzz
As Milan prepares for the 2025-26 season, one of the club’s most pressing matters appears close to resolution: the long-term future of Christian Pulisic. The American star, who has become a pillar of Milan’s attacking identity since his arrival in 2023, is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract — and the details of the deal signal Milan’s commitment to keeping their key playmaker in red and black for years to come.
Christian Pulisic’s current deal runs until June 2027, but recent weeks have brought speculation around his next step, especially as other European giants have begun to circle. However, according to Tuttosport and transfer expert Nicolo Schira, Milan and Pulisic are now “one step away” from an agreement that would tie the 26-year-old to San Siro until June 30, 2029.
“Talks between the player’s representatives and the Rossoneri are progressing positively,” reports Tuttosport, adding that “all parties are optimistic about finalizing the extension in the coming days.”
Perhaps the most telling aspect of the proposed extension is the financial upgrade. The USMNT forward is set to receive a salary bump from $4.5 million to $5.7 million net per season, with additional bonuses included. The raise reflects his rising status within the club and Milan’s recognition of his importance both on and off the pitch.
Faith in the project
While Pulisic’s camp has been careful not to rush into an agreement, the player has repeatedly given positive signals regarding his desire to stay in Milan, especially after the appointment of Massimiliano Allegri.
Since joining from Chelsea in the summer of 2023, the American has racked up 32 goals in 100 appearances in all competitions, quickly becoming one of the Rossoneri’s most productive and versatile attacking players. Whether deployed on the wing or in a more central attacking role, his creativity and consistency have made him indispensable to the Rossoneri’s frontline.
The reported new deal would not only secure Milan a proven performer but also send a strong signal of stability as the club continues to rebuild for long-term success. Under Allegri, and with other key players like Rafael Leao and Luka Modric remaining central to the project, the 26-year-old’s renewal completes a core that Milan hopes can lead them back to domestic and European glory.
