NYCFC Eyes Pulisic: Milan Says No
17 Jul
Summary
- NYCFC wants to acquire Christian Pulisic for MLS play.
- AC Milan is unwilling to sell the American star player.
- Pulisic is under contract with AC Milan until at least 2027.
New York City FC has publicly stated its desire to acquire Christian Pulisic to play in Major League Soccer. NYCFC president Brad Sims indicated that acquiring the American star would be a significant boost for the league.
However, Sims acknowledged that AC Milan is not interested in selling Pulisic, which presents a major obstacle to any potential transfer. The club president suggested that if AC Milan refuses to release the player, any pursuit would be unsuccessful.
Pulisic, who turns 28 in September 2026, is currently in his fourth season of a five-year deal with AC Milan, which began in 2023. He previously played for Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.
Pulisic recently completed a disappointing World Cup campaign where he failed to score and provided one assist. He also dealt with injuries during the tournament, missing one game and leaving two others early. He fractured his right leg during the round of 16 loss to Belgium.
