Pulisic aims for new AC Milan contract after positive start under Ruben Amorim

Christian Pulisic, whose AC Milan contract expires at the end of the season, has publicly expressed his desire to remain with the club after positive early signs under new head coach Ruben Amorim. Pulisic says he feels happy at Milan and expects discussions about a new deal to happen soon.

The wider team picture is relevant. Under Amorim, Milan are unbeaten in Serie A after five games (three wins, two draws) and sit fifth in the table, two points behind leaders Roma. The club lost their Europa League opener 2-0 to Benfica but responded positively in the domestic league before the international break.

The American forward acknowledges he struggled for form under the previous coach, Massimiliano Allegri, when he scored 10 goals and had four assists across 34 appearances in the prior season. Under Amorim, Pulisic says the team is learning a system that requires specific positions and movements in possession, while still allowing attacking freedom.

Pulisic's current contract expires next summer. Reports mentioned in the coverage indicate Milan may hold an option to extend the deal by an additional year, but the player has signaled he wants to continue at the club regardless. He said, "I am very happy at Milan. The club is giving me everything, it helps me a great deal. I am concentrating on playing, but we'll talk about it [new contract], I hope soon. I feel really happy at Milan and want to continue here."

What this means for Milan and Pulisic

If Pulisic sustains his recent form and integrates consistently into Amorim's tactical approach, Milan would retain an experienced attacking option who can play multiple roles across the front line. For Pulisic, securing an extension would provide stability heading into the next season and allow him to continue adjusting to Amorim's methods without the uncertainty of an expiring contract.

• Maintain fitness and availability after the injury layoff.
• Continue adapting to Amorim's positional and movement demands in possession.
• Convert chances more frequently to reinforce his value in contract talks.
