Italian media: Milan calmly handles Pulisic’s contract renewal issue, the player’s first choice is still to stay on the team

According to Football Market reports, Milan has calmly handled the issue of Pulisic’s contract renewal, and the player’s first choice is still to stay on the team.

Milan has begun preparations for the derby with Inter Milan on November 23. Allegri plans to start Pulisic. The player has contributed 6 goals and 2 assists in all competitions this season.

Despite the changes in Milan's coaching staff, Pulisic's importance to Milan has not changed. Pulisic has quickly developed into a technically proficient and charismatic leader of the team and is proving it every month and every game. He showed consistent play and a strong sense of belonging.

For this reason, Milan management appears relatively calm when dealing with his contract issue that expires in 2027: Pulisic's loyalty and contribution are beyond doubt. In addition to full confidence, Pulisic's contract contains a clause that the club can exercise unilaterally (the club has the right to extend the contract until 2028). If the deadlock persists, Fulani will exercise the clause at the end of the season. In addition, the club's primary goal is to increase Pulisic's annual salary from 4.4 million euros (net income) to 5.5 million euros.

Milan prepared Pulisic’s contract as early as last spring, but the player has been slow to act. He was disappointed with his performance last season. Pulisic wants to know the name and plans of the new coach, hoping to reignite the passion and ambition that has driven him throughout his career. Allegri's arrival undoubtedly satisfies his desire for a championship coach, but Pulisic also longs to play in the Champions League. Pulisic is not in a hurry. Staying in Milan is still his first choice, but there is still time to renew the contract.
