Christian Pulisic’s future at AC Milan is in question as the club stares down a critical summer filled with financial and sporting uncertainty. Following a disappointing Coppa Italia final defeat to Bologna, Milan’s hopes of securing a place in next season’s UEFA Europa League have evaporated. Compounding the frustration, a top-five finish in Serie A — which would have guaranteed Champions League qualification — is now all but out of reach.
According to reports from Tuttosport, Milan is heading into the off-season with a significant financial shortfall of approximately €100 million. To bridge the gap, the club may be forced to offload some of its top talent, with midfielder Tijjani Reijnders attracting serious interest from Manchester City. The Premier League champions are reportedly prepared to offer upwards of €70 million for the Dutch international.
Pulisic, who has been one of Milan’s standout performers this season alongside Reijnders, is said to be frustrated with the club’s direction. Though he has been linked with signing a one-year contract extension — which would include a salary increase as a reward for his strong form — the American star may pause negotiations. Sources suggest that Pulisic is seeking reassurances regarding the club’s competitive ambitions before committing to a new deal.
Several clubs are reportedly monitoring Pulisic’s situation closely, and a summer departure cannot be ruled out. With Milan facing both financial pressures and on-field underachievement, the coming months will be pivotal in determining the trajectory of both the club and some of its key players.
