While AC Milan have managed to remain among the most dominant teams in Serie A, they continue to struggle offensively. As a result, the Rossoneri are close to deciding on a partner for Christian Pulisic in attack for January 2026.

As Milan prepares to return to Saudi Arabia for the Italian Super Cup, Christian Pulisi finds himself once again at the center of expectations, belief, and unfinished ambition.

Christian Pulisic walked off the pitch at San Siro believing he had done his job. The net had rippled, the crowd had erupted, and Milan had seemingly taken control of a tense Serie A afternoon. Instead, what followed was confusion, whistles, and a growing sense that something decisive had been taken away.

Despite AC Milan being in top form, they suffered a surprise draw against Sassuolo that caused them to lose their lead in Serie A. After the game, coach Massimiliano Allegri revealed the reason Christian Pulisic was substituted despite needing to score to secure victory.

Although AC Milan remain one of Italy's best teams, they continue to struggle offensively. Given this situation, Santiago Gimenez's future is somewhat uncertain, as Christian Pulisic's Rossoneri are reportedly keeping an eye on two Premier League strikers ahead of January 2026.

AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri used striking language when talking about Christian Pulisic.

Christian Pulisic has become one of the central pillars of Milan’s project, a player around whom the club’s present and future increasingly revolves. Yet while the American continues to grow in stature at San Siro, a significant figure in the dressing room may soon be heading for the exit.

From the moment Christian Pulisic arrived in Italy, there was a sense that Milan had found something special. Yet even with his early goals and flashes of brilliance, few could have predicted just how central the American would become under Massimiliano Allegri.

As reports in Italy suggest, the Rossoneri are deep into talks with the American star over a long-term extension—yet one unresolved point continues to shape discussions behind closed doors.

With his goal against Galatasaray, Folarin Balogun has reached an historic USMNT Champions League goalscoring record not even Christian Pulisic was able to claim.

Today, Pulisic stands statistically above elite contemporaries such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, and Rodrygo, while becoming one of Serie A’s most decisive match-winners.

AC Milan have firmly established themselves as one of Italy’s top teams, spearheaded by Christian Pulisic. However, the Rossoneri face uncertainty with Mike Maignan’s future. Consequently, they are now targeting a Champions League and Premier League-winning goalkeeper.

The prospect of seeing Christian Pulisic feature in a historic overseas Serie A match has dimmed dramatically, as Milan’s February 2026 meeting with Como appears set to return to Italian soil.

The European scoring charts have taken on an unexpected shape in recent weeks, with Christian Pulisic joining names such as Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane in discussions that were once reserved only for the continent’s most reliable finishers.

In a year where he struggled to earn minutes with the national team, Christian Pulisic has been snubbed from a USMNT award, and now is set to remain tied with legend Landon Donovan, at least until 2026.
