Pep Guardiola coaching Christian Pulisic at Milan is a fantasy — but what about another familiar face?

Just as Milan appeared to be stepping out of their injury crisis, fresh news arrived to pull them back into the shadows. With momentum building and hopes of a strong finish to the season still alive in both Serie A and the Coppa Italia, the Rossoneri were hit by another blow.

At a time when all eyes were on marquee names like Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, Santiago Gimenez, and Joao Felix, it turns out that Milan’s most prolific forward—per 90 minutes played since Zlatan Ibrahimovic—has been someone nobody was talking about.

With Christian Pulisic continuing to shine with Milan 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.

Rafael Leao, Santiago Gimenez, Christian Pulisic, and Joao Felix have all carried the weight of expectation at San Siro, each with moments of magic but none completely escaping scrutiny.

Milan fans were left holding their breath after the club’s 2-2 draw against Fiorentina, a match that saw both Tammy Abraham and Santiago Gimenez withdrawn due to injury.

Saturday's match between Milan and Fiorentina was meant to be a chance for the Rossoneri to spark life back into their struggling campaign. Instead, the 2-2 draw only added to the growing sense of unease surrounding the Rossoneri. Thus, when asked which players the club planned to build around, the club president did not hesitate.

Christian Pulisic, who has quickly established himself as a pillar of Milan’s current project, has the chance to surpass a record held by another iconic USMNT figure in Europe’s top five leagues—a player whose legacy the Milan star is steadily rewriting.

While most eyes are on the lineup choices of manager Sergio Conceicao, one particular question looms ahead of Saturday's clash: what role will Christian Pulisic play in a Milan team still searching for consistency?

After nearly two decades at the pinnacle of European soccer, a 2014 FIFA World Cup winner and current Serie A star has announced he will retire at the end of the 2024-25 season.

If Pep Guardiola does walk away from Manchester City, where would he go next? Surprisingly, Milan has emerged as a possible destination.

Milan’s season has been filled with inconsistency, but one statistic stands out as particularly alarming: the worst penalty-kick record in Europe’s top five leagues. And at the center of this conversation is Christian Pulisic.

Beyond the disappointing result for Milan, the match was also marked by rising tensions within the squad—none more evident than in the heated moment between Kyle Walker and Joao Felix.

Santiago Gimenez’s penalty miss against Napoli proved decisive, leaving fans and pundits alike questioning: Why did Milan allow a struggling striker to take such an important kick when Christian Pulisic was on the pitch?
