Amid all the transfer noise, one subplot has quietly emerged at Milanello: Allegri’s first impressions of Santiago Gimenez.

Two main options remain on the table — a balanced 4-3-3 or a more structured 3-5-2 — and, intriguingly, Christian Pulisic could be the key to solving this dilemma.

The Rossoneri fans were eager to see Christian Pulisic back in action — but that won’t be happening.

As Christian Pulisic continues to thrive at Milan, another familiar face from the U.S. Men’s National Team could soon be joining him at San Siro.

As Milan reshapes now under Massimiliano Allegri, the USMNT star has spoken candidly about the evolution of his role, the team’s new direction, and the deeper understanding he’s gained on the pitch.

As Milan prepares for the 2025-26 season, one of the club’s most pressing matters appears close to resolution: the long-term future of Christian Pulisic.

While the performance offered glimpses of attacking brilliance and tactical experimentation under Massimiliano Allegri, one notable absence raised questions: Christian Pulisic was nowhere to be seen.

Amid swirling speculation, fans and media alike have been asking one persistent question: Will Christian Pulisic commit his long-term future to the Rossoneri?

Following the match, Pulisic took to Instagram to thank the Hong Kong fans and reflect on the friendly fixture with a simple five-word message.

It was a competitive outing that ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Rossoneri, yet what followed after full-time left many scratching their heads: a full penalty shootout.

While the scoreline reflected a tight contest, the fixture offered a deeper glimpse into Allegri’s tactical intentions and hinted at a reshuffling of player roles within a squad in transition.

In a team full of potential, competition, and tactical flexibility, only four players are reportedly considered “untouchable”—the guaranteed starters, the cornerstones of Allegri’s rebuild.

Milan has officially released their 2025 pre-season tour squad, which features headline names like Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao, but notably omits new signing Luka Modric and star striker Santiago Gimenez.

According to Italian reports, the new Rossoneri boss is contemplating a strategy inspired by his time with Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus. But what’s even more intriguing is who makes this idea feasible—Christian Pulisic.

Rumors swirled that Christian Pulisic might be tempted to follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema by heading to the Middle East’s growing soccer project.
