Milan’s turbulent season has seen its fair share of stories both on and off the pitch, but a recent revelation from one of their star forwards has ignited fresh intrigue around the ever-growing pull of MLS. With Christian Pulisic continuing to shine in Serie A, a familiar face from his Premier League past has hinted that he might be tempted to move to the United States—though, as he admits, only if one specific scenario plays out.
The twist? This isn’t just any player. It’s one of Milan’s marquee names, a former Chelsea forward and England international, who’s found new life in Italy. However, he apparently remains open to the idea of one day swapping the San Siro for soccer in America.
Tammy Abraham, now 27, is currently on loan at the Rossoneri from Roma, having made the move to Italy back in 2021 after departing Chelsea. In joining the Rossoneri, he reunited with several familiar faces from his days in London—Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Pulisic, with whom he shares not just history, but a close friendship.
While Abraham’s Serie A campaign hasn’t been spectacular—just three goals and three assists in 26 appearances—his presence has added depth to a struggling side battling for form. His recent strike against Fiorentina, assisted by none other than Pulisic, was a reminder of the chemistry the two former Blues’ men still share. The match finished 2-2, but Abraham’s goal was a highlight in a season where such moments have been rare.
The MLS hint — and the key condition
Speaking to CBS Sports, Abraham didn’t hide his admiration for the idea of one day playing in the U.S.—but it would come with one clear condition: he wants to follow Pulisic there. “If the subject of America came up, I told him if they were willing to offer him a deal, he should take me along with him,” the English striker said.
“You never know, things in football. You never know life and God’s plans, so if it came one day, you know, absolutely.” While there’s no concrete MLS move on the cards for either man just yet, Abraham’s openness to the idea makes one thing clear: if Pulisic goes, he wants to go too.
Pulisic’s American dream — eventually
Pulisic has never played in his homeland, having gone abroad to Borussia Dortmund at just 15 years old. From there, he broke through at Chelsea in the Premier League before making the switch to Italy, where he has rediscovered his best form. With 15 goals and numerous assists, the USMNT captain is now the club’s top scorer and creator, a vital presence in a team still finding its feet.
While he’s laser-focused on the present, the 26-year-old hasn’t ruled out a return to the U.S. later in his career. “I hopefully have some great years in Europe ahead of me,” he told The Athletic last year. “I’m loving my time here, so of course, MLS is not in my head at the moment. But, yeah, at the end of my career? Absolutely.”
