Christian Pulisic is reportedly committed to Serie A giants AC Milan amid his links with Liverpool, with the Rossoneri poised to tie him to a new contract.
According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Christian Pulisic is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are scouring the market for a wide attacker ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window. However, the AC Milan attacker has dealt a blow to the Merseyside club’s prospects, as he is committed to the Serie A giants and will take his annual salary from €4 million to €5 million.
Christian Pulisic and his AC Milan resurgence
Christian Pulisic has turned his career around since joining AC Milan from Chelsea in July 2023. The American attacker’s progress had come to a grinding halt in his final days at the West London club. However, he has established himself as one of the best players in Serie A in the last 18 months.
The 26-year-old has been exceptional thus far this season, contributing to 14 goals in 20 outings across all competitions by finding the back of the net eight times and providing six assists. Meanwhile, Pulisic’s progress at AC Milan has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the USMNT international, with recent reports linking him with Manchester United. In addition, the AC Milan forward is a target for Liverpool. However, the Serie A giants are eager to tie him to a new contract, raising his annual salary from €4 million to €5 million.
Premier League return on the horizon?
Liverpool’s interest in Christian Pulisic is understandable. The Reds have been scouring the market for a new wide attacker amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez. While Salah might sign a new contract in the coming weeks, Nunez’s situation is complicated.
In addition, Federico Chiesa has barely made his mark for Liverpool since arriving from Juventus in the summer transfer window. So, the versatile Pulisic is a viable target for Liverpool, although securing his services will be a tall order.
Pulisic’s €4 million-a-year wages will soon become a €5 million-a-year annual salary, with the 26-year-old USMNT international committed to AC Milan. It will be interesting to see who becomes the next top attacking target for Liverpool, with the American attacker not leaving the Serie A club anytime soon.
