USA star striker Christian Pulisic has quickly become an indispensable player in the Milan squad, allowing the club to calmly approach the question of extending his contract, which runs until 2027. It is reported Calciomercato.com.

However, despite the apparent calm, the negotiation process is currently delayed. The current deal includes a one-way extension option that the club can activate at the end of the season if the parties fail to reach an agreement – a measure that CEO Giorgio Furlani is prepared to use in a worst-case scenario.

The current main goal of the Rossoneri management is to increase Pulisic’s salary from €4.4m to around €5.5m per year for his key contribution to the team. However, before signing, the American midfielder wants to make sure of the Italian club’s ambitious plans for future participation in the Champions League.

According to the source, Pulisic carefully evaluated the new vision of the club after last season, in particular the arrival of a new coach and Milan’s ambitions. The appointment of Max Allegri has brought confidence, but Champions League participation remains the deciding factor for the USA captain.
