The United States international only moved to San Siro in the summer of 2023. The €20 million (£17m/$22m) paid out to lure him away from Chelsea is being made to look like quite the bargain, with Pulisic posting personal bests during his debut campaign in Italy.

The USMNT star has registered 13 goals across all competitions, alongside eight assists, while his versatility has been put to good use when filling wide attacking berths and central creative posts. Pulisic’s value to the collective cause is not lost on anybody in Milan.

DID YOU KNOW?

With that in mind, claims that the Rossoneri are preparing to extend Pulisic’s deal. His contract is due to run until 2027, but there is the option for a further 12 months within those terms. Milan are ready to activate that clause and keep the 25-year-old on their books until at least 2028.

GettyWHAT PIOLI SAID ABOUT PULISIC

Milan boss Stefano Pioli has said of Pulisic: “I’ve had many video calls to explain the playing style and I rarely get the wrong sensation from the players. I knew Pulisic’s quality, but when we talked on a video call, I sensed something very positive. He was very eager, curious, interested in everything I had to say. He doesn’t talk very much, but it’s the attitude that shines through from a person. His attitude is fantastic, he is an exemplary professional and hard worker who will help the team to get stronger.”
