"AC Milan are keen on extending Christian Pulisic 's contract, but as long negotiations are expected, the Rossoneri could take a smaller first step to relieve the pressure. Pulisic has been outstanding at the start of the season, bar the penalty miss against Juventus last time out, and it's not surprising that Milan are thinking about a renewal. In fact, the American was named player of the month in Serie A for his performances."
"As things stand, his contract will expire in 2027 but Milan have the option to extend it for one more year. That being said, a pay rise is certainly warranted as the No.11 is about €1m behind Rafael Leao in annual wages, meaning a new deal would have to be negotiated. According to Corriere dello Sport this morning (via MilanNews), Milan believe they have plenty of time to negotiate a deal with their star. However, to be on the safe side, a first step in the process could be to trigger the one-year renewal."
"This would take the deadline to June 2028, and the idea is also to add another one-year clause to be able to extend it until 2029. Whether this will include a pay rise is unclear, but it's an important first step that would allow the parties to negotiate a higher salary without any external pressure. For now, Pulisic is focused on the season and he will surely be looking to deliver a response to the penalty miss next time out, with Milan taking on Fiorentina."
AC Milan intend to extend Christian Pulisic's contract and may trigger the club's one-year option now to relieve negotiation pressure. Pulisic's current deal runs until 2027 with a club option for a further year, and triggering that option would move the deadline to June 2028. Milan are also considering adding another one-year clause to extend the contract until 2029. A pay rise is likely warranted because Pulisic earns about €1m less annually than Rafael Leao, so a new deal would require renegotiation. Pulisic has performed strongly this season and seeks to respond after a missed penalty against Juventus.
