AC Milan and United States international Christian Pulisic have reportedly paused contract extension negotiations, with the forward's recent goal drought complicating discussions. According to multiple Italian media reports, including La Gazzetta dello Sport, talks have stalled as Pulisic has not scored for the Rossoneri since February 2026.
The 27-year-old, who joined Milan from Chelsea in July 2023, has been a key contributor this season with 12 goals and 8 assists across all competitions. However, his lack of goals in recent weeks has raised concerns as the club evaluates his long-term role. Pulisic's current contract runs through June 2027, but Milan had been exploring an extension to secure his future.
Milan manager Sergio Conceição has publicly backed Pulisic, stating on April 20, 'Christian is a professional and a leader. We are confident he will return to scoring form.' The club remains in a tight race for a top-four finish in Serie A, currently sitting fifth with six matches remaining.
Negotiations are expected to resume at the end of the season, with both sides keen to find a resolution. Pulisic has been a fan favorite at San Siro, but the club's management is cautious about committing to a significant raise given his recent dip in form.
