Christian Pulisic assinou um novo contrato com o Milan válido até 2031, confirmou o clube italiano nesta sexta-feira, um dia antes do Dérbi da Madonnina de sábado contra a Inter, em San Siro.
O atacante americano chegou ao Milan no verão de 2023, vindo do Chelsea, por cerca de 20 milhões de dólares, e seu contrato anterior expirava no verão de 2027. Ele agora acertou uma extensão de quatro anos.
O Milan marcou a notícia com um comunicado:
“O Milan tem o prazer de anunciar que Christian Pulisic prorrogou seu contrato com o clube até 30 de junho de 2031.”
O clube afirmou que Pulisic se tornou peça-chave do time desde que chegou em julho de 2023, citando sua qualidade técnica, caráter, regularidade e ética de trabalho, e destacou 44 gols em 141 partidas. Descreveu a prorrogação como um compromisso compartilhado de seguir construindo e de buscar mais troféus.
Houve altos e baixos desde que ele chegou à Serie A, três anos atrás. Pulisic rapidamente se tornou central sob Stefano Pioli, mas as mudanças táticas frequentes o forçaram a jogar em várias posições sob Pioli, Paulo Fonseca, Sergio Conceicao, Massimiliano Allegri e agora Ruben Amorim. Lesões recorrentes também lhe custaram muitos jogos nos últimos dois anos, e com o novo contrato ele espera encontrar mais estabilidade.
Quando está bem, porém, o Milan se beneficia dele, e foi por isso que o clube — do dono americano Gerry Cardinale — optou por prorrogar. Tanto o treinador quanto os companheiros contam com ele, e ele tem estado entre os melhores da Serie A ano após ano. Depois de tudo mudar no clube no verão de 2026, Amorim e Cardinale concordaram que o novo ciclo precisava de Pulisic no centro.
É um ciclo que eles esperam render troféus antes da temporada 2031-32, quando o Milan se mudar para o novo estádio que o clube apresentou junto com a Inter na quinta-feira.
