AS Roma are actively pursuing Christian Pulisic from AC Milan, with coach Gian Piero Gasperini specifically requesting the signing of the USA winger. Pulisic, currently on World Cup duty with the USA against Paraguay, has reportedly become unsettled by the situation at Milan following the club's dramatic collapse. Milan dropped from second place to fifth in the final weeks of the season, missing Champions League qualification entirely.
The institutional turmoil at Milan has further complicated efforts to retain key players. The club dismissed head coach Massimiliano Allegri, sporting director Igli Tare, technical director Geoffrey Moncada, and CEO Giorgio Furlani immediately after the season concluded. With Milan's senior management structure dismantled, no formal negotiations have yet taken place for Pulisic. Other high-profile Milan players facing uncertain futures include Rafael Leao, Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot, and Mike Maignan.
Pulisic's contract with Milan expires in summer 2027, with the club holding a one-year extension option. Roma have also been exploring options to strengthen their attack, including interest in former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood.
If Pulisic leaves Milan, it would significantly weaken their attacking options and Serie A competitiveness, while Roma's acquisition could improve their title credentials. Pulisic's transfer uncertainty could affect his market value and impact betting odds for both clubs' 2026-27 performance.
