Christian Pulisic injury recovery and status at AC Milan
Overview
Christian Pulisic has returned to prominence for AC Milan following a period of physical setbacks. After a convincing second-half performance against Lazio, where he provided an assist, the American midfielder demonstrated his ability to influence the attacking third.
His reintegration followed a difficult period involving microfractures in his tibia sustained during the World Cup, which contributed to a significant scoring drought. On October 3, 2026, Pulisic officially ended a 266-day Serie A scoring drought by scoring against Lecce, marking his first league goal since December 2025. He has since shown increased decisiveness, contributing to goals in two consecutive matches.
Pulisic is currently utilizing the international break at Milanello to improve his physical condition and prepare for the resumption of the league season. Amidst his reintegration and focus on learning the new tactical system, the player has expressed that he is ‘very happy’ at the club and intends to stay.
As of October 2026, contract negotiations for a long-term extension are officially underway. While Pulisic’s current deal expires in 2027, he has confirmed his desire to remain, stating, ‘I am very happy at Milan... I want to stay here.’ Although Milan holds an option to extend his stay by one year, management aims for a deal through 2031. Negotiations remain complex, as Pulisic is reportedly seeking higher salary terms than the previously discussed net annual salary of approximately €5 million.
