"Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, once the dream duo in the summer, have turned into symbols of great regret and what could have been. Leao and Pulisic have alternated time spent on the pitch because of injury issues, and when they have played they haven't clicked."
"Pulisic, once the goalscoring twin, has gradually declined and hasn't scored since last December. A joyless 2026. The last-ditch effort is to bring him back at least as an assist provider, i.e. as a winger in a three-pronged attack."
"The USA international is tied to Milan until the summer of 2027, with an option for a one-year extension. A new contract seemed imminent, but then it was repeatedly postponed until it faded into the distant future."
AC Milan is facing a summer overhaul of its attacking department due to underwhelming performances. Robert Lewandowski is a top candidate to improve the situation. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic have struggled with injuries and lack of scoring, with Leao's release clause potentially negotiable down to €70-80m. Pulisic has not scored since December 2025 and his future at the club is uncertain, with contract negotiations stalled despite being tied to Milan until 2027.
