AC Milan has secured the future of their star winger, Christian Pulisic, with a new contract extension. The United States international, who has been a standout performer for the Rossoneri since joining from Chelsea in the summer of 2023, is now committed to the club until 2029.
The agreement marks a significant milestone for Pulisic, who has become a pivotal figure in Milan’s squad. His current deal was set to expire in June 2027, with an option for an additional year, but the new contract extends his stay by two years and includes a notable salary increase. Reports indicate that his annual earnings will rise from €4 million to €5 million, reflecting his growing importance to the team.
Pulisic’s impact at AC Milan has been undeniable. In his debut season of 2023-24, he scored 15 goals across all competitions, a career-best tally he has already equaled this season with his 15th goal coming in a 2-1 victory over Como on March 15, 2025. His contributions extend beyond goals, with 17 assists this season, tying him with teammate Rafael Leão for the most goal contributions at the club since last season.
The 26-year-old’s versatility has been a key asset for Milan. Under head coach Sergio Conceição, Pulisic has thrived in multiple roles, including on the wings and as a central attacking midfielder. His recent performances, including a brace in a 3-2 comeback win against Lecce earlier this month, have solidified his status as one of Serie A’s top players.
The contract extension comes at a crucial time for AC Milan, who are currently navigating a challenging season. Sitting eighth in the Serie A standings and having dropped into the Champions League playoff round, the club is looking to build around key talents like Pulisic to regain their footing in both domestic and European competitions.
Negotiations for the new deal have been in progress for weeks, with both parties expressing confidence in reaching an agreement. The extension is seen as a statement of intent from Milan, signaling their commitment to retaining top talent amid interest from other European clubs.
Pulisic’s journey to this point has been marked by resilience. After facing inconsistent playing time and injuries during his tenure at Chelsea, his move to Milan has revitalized his career. His consistent performances have not only endeared him to Milan fans but also strengthened his position as a leader for the U.S. men’s national team.
