AC Milan has paused contract renewal discussions with Christian Pulisic until the end of the 2025–26 season. The club will focus on on-field objectives before addressing long-term negotiations. The USMNT star remains important to Milan’s project.
However, the San Siro hierarchy is in no rush to finalize a new agreement as the campaign nears its decisive phase.
AC Milan Hit Pause on Christian Pulisic Contract Talks
Journalist Daniele Longo reports Milan plans to meet Pulisic’s representatives post-season to discuss his future. The decision to delay is strategic, not due to issues. Club officials want to focus on finishing the season before entering complex contract talks.
Pulisic’s current contract with Milan runs until June 2027, and the club also holds a unilateral option to extend the deal until 2028. This clause provides Milan with significant leverage and protection, ensuring they are not under immediate pressure to secure a new agreement or risk losing the American winger for a reduced transfer fee.
In the 2025/2026 Serie A season for AC Milan, Christian Pulisic has remained a key player, recording 8 goals and 2 assists across 21 appearances as of early March 2026. He has logged 1,125 minutes, playing primarily as a forward for the Rossoneri.
Several clubs are monitoring Pulisic despite Milan’s security. Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly shown strong interest in signing Christian Pulisic, according to CalcioMercato, largely due to uncertainty surrounding the American’s contract situation at AC Milan. The Serie A club is said to value the USMNT star at around €55 million should serious offers arrive.
At this stage, however, discussions remain far from advanced. Tottenham have not opened formal negotiations with Milan and are instead making initial contact with the player’s representatives to gauge his availability and interest in a potential Premier League move.

The enquiry is considered exploratory, with Spurs sounding out Pulisic’s camp before deciding whether to proceed. His performances in Italy have revived his career and re-established his status as a top attacker, attracting interest from other European clubs.
While negotiations are on hold, Milan still sees extending Pulisic’s stay as a long-term goal. The club may offer him a major extension, possibly keeping him at San Siro until 2031. Such a deal would let Pulisic spend his peak years with the seven-time European champions.
It would further cement his status as a modern star of the Rossoneri project. For now, both sides are focused on finishing the season before shifting to Pulisic’s long-term future.
