While his teammates continue preparations abroad, the American star is staying in Italy as the club carefully manages his recovery from the injury he suffered during the United States' World Cup campaign. Christian Pulisic has officially returned to Milanello following his extended post-2026 World Cup break, marking the beginning of an important phase ahead of the new Serie A season. While his teammates continue preparations abroad, the American star is staying in Italy as the club carefully manages his recovery from the injury he suffered during the United States’ World Cup campaign. The winger’s return comes with optimism despite the physical setback that ended his tournament. Milan remains confident that one of its most influential attacking players will be ready to make an impact early in the new campaign, although the club is taking every precaution before clearing him for competitive action. Pulisic arrived at Milanello on Thursday morning, one day later than originally scheduled after being granted additional time by the club for logistical reasons. He underwent the customary medical examinations before beginning individual work aimed at rebuilding his fitness after the injury sustained during the World Cup. The American international is not traveling with the Rossoneri on their preseason tour of Australia, instead remaining at the club’s training center to focus entirely on rehabilitation. Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez also returned to Milanello as he continues recovering from his own ankle injury suffered while representing Mexico. View this post on Instagram Pulisic suffered leg fracture in World Cup defeat to Belgium The recovery program follows an injury Pulisic suffered during the United States’ Round of 16 defeat to Belgium at the 2026 World Cup. According to The Athletic, the injury occurred when the American attempted a shot before colliding with Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans. Although Pulisic initially tried to continue playing, he was eventually forced off the field after struggling with the pain. “I just totally twisted my ankle and my knee in one play,” the 27-year-old explained after the match. Subsequent medical examinations revealed a bone bruise and a microfracture in his right leg, specifically around the tibia-fibula junction, with earlier Italian reports also describing a microfracture to his right fibula. Doctors reportedly believe the injury requires weeks rather than months of recovery, offering encouragement ahead of the domestic season.

Italian outlets including La Gazzetta dello Sport and MilanNews report that the initial phase focuses on rest before gradually introducing rehabilitation exercises and individual training sessions. The winger is currently working separately from the main squad while recovering from bone edema around the tibia-fibula junction. The club has deliberately avoided placing unnecessary pressure on one of its most important attacking players. Instead of rushing him back into full training, Milan intends to increase his workload only when medical staff are fully satisfied with his progress. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan. Despite the cautious approach, there is growing confidence that Pulisic could be available for Milan’s opening Serie A fixture against Torino on August 23. Reports suggest new head coach Ruben Amorim expects the American to remain one of the team’s key attacking figures this season. However, neither the coaching staff nor the medical department is willing to compromise his long-term condition simply to accelerate his preseason preparations. Italian media indicate the club is even prepared to delay his return beyond the opening weekend if addit

Manchester United and Arsenal need midfielders, Liverpool should sign a winger and Chelsea require a goalkeeperBy Opta AnalystDeclan Rice was worked to the bone by Arsenal last season, playing 4,456 minutes in all competitions. This showed at points during the World Cup, when the midfielder’s body looked on the verge of breaking down. Arsenal need high-quality reinforcements in the centre of the pitch so Rice can occasionally have a rest. Christian Nørgaard struggled to get on to the park last season, with Mikel Arteta seemingly not trusting the former Brentford captain. An extra midfield option could prove crucial to Arsenal retaining their crown. Continue reading...

According to Florian Plettenberg, via X, Luis Diaz has informed Al Hilal of his formal rejection of their €25M-per-year salary offer. Instead, the Colombian star has decided to prioritize his stay at Bayern Munich, as he will be key for head coach Vincent Kompany. In addition, the German side continues to consider him indispensable to its sporting project, so they will not sit down to listen to any more offers for his transfer. Along with this report, Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen publicly denied the Colombian player’s departure: “We’d be stupid, wouldn’t we? We have such a fantastic squad, honestly. Let’s just get the season underway and start scoring some goals,” he said, via Kicker.

With fresh transfer speculation gathering pace, many supporters are now wondering whether the American star could be on the move before the new season begins. Christian Pulisic‘s future has suddenly become one of the biggest talking points of the summer following a frustrating 2026 World Cup campaign with the United States national team. With fresh transfer speculation gathering pace, many supporters are now wondering whether the American star could be on the move before the new season begins. The winger’s tournament was disrupted by injuries, and his difficult finish to the campaign has only intensified the debate surrounding his next step. Reports have now linked him with an unexpected destination, while Milan has reportedly made its position known amid growing interest from abroad. The World Cup began brightly for the 27-year-old, who produced an assist in the opening victory over Paraguay and looked poised to play a leading role for the United States. However, a calf injury forced him to miss the second group-stage match, interrupting his momentum at the worst possible time. He later returned as a substitute against Turkiye before starting the knockout victories over Bosnia and Herzegovina and the eventual defeat to Belgium. Even after returning to the lineup, Pulisic never appeared fully fit, and the tournament ended with reports of a hairline fracture in his leg, putting the start of Milan’s 2026-27 campaign in doubt. Christian Pulisic #10 of the United States. Galatasaray makes contact over Pulisic According to Tuttomercatoweb, Galatasaray contacted Milan to explore the possibility of signing Christian Pulisic during the summer transfer window. The Turkish champion reportedly made an initial inquiry to determine whether negotiations could begin. It is said that Galatasaray has only gathered information about the player’s availability and has yet to submit a formal offer. The club is evaluating whether a future move could become possible if circumstances change later in the transfer window. The Istanbul side has been active in pursuing high-profile additions this summer, having also been linked with Milan forward Rafael Leao. Pulisic has emerged as another player admired by Galatasaray’s recruitment team. Rafael Leao of AC Milan interacts with Christian Pulisic That interest followed earlier speculation linking the American with Major League Soccer. New York City FC had also been credited with exploring a move for the forward, hoping to convince him to return to the United States. Milan’s response becomes clear The Italian club’s answer reportedly arrived quickly. Tuttomercatoweb, however, adds that Milan immediately rejected Galatasaray’s approach and made it clear that Pulisic is not available for transfer. The same response was reportedly given to New York City FC, underlining the club’s determination to retain one of its key attacking players. Despite the winger’s recent struggles, Milan continues to believe he can regain his best form under new head coach Ruben Amorim. Club owner Gerry Cardinale is also said to be firmly against a summer sale, viewing the United States international as an important figure in the club’s long-term plans. Amorim could play a key role as contract situation remains unresolved Although the Rossoneri’s stance appears firm, Pulisic’s contractual situation continues to attract attention. His current agreement runs until June 2027, while the Serie A giant also holds an option to extend it by another year. Renewal discussions have reportedly slowed in recent months, although the club remains optimistic that an extension can eventually be reached. Christian Pulisic (left) and Ruben Amorim (right) Several reports indicate that Milan intends to reopen talks once Pulisic returns to Italy after his summer break. The expectation is that Ruben Amorim’s arrival could also play a significant role in convincing the American to continue his career at San Siro. One of Milan’s biggest reasons for optimism

Pulisic's future appears to depend on one key factor, making the coming weeks crucial for both player and club. Christian Pulisic faces one of the most important moments of his AC Milan career after a difficult year on and off the pitch, while Ruben Amorim prepares to reshape the Rossoneri with a new vision. The United States international has battled injuries, struggled for consistency, and is now weighing a long-term commitment as Milan begins a new era under its recently appointed head coach. His future, however, appears to depend on one key factor, making the coming weeks crucial for both player and club. The American star entered 2026 with high expectations but endured a frustrating campaign for both club and country. After failing to score during the World Cup and suffering another injury before the tournament concluded, Pulisic now faces an extended recovery period while also deciding whether Milan remains the right place for the next chapter of his career. Pulisic’s World Cup ended in disappointment after he suffered a bone bruise and a microfracture involving his lower leg during the United States’ Round of 16 defeat to Belgium. Medical examinations reportedly confirmed the injury, with expectations that he will spend between four and six weeks on the sidelines before returning to training. The setback capped an exhausting tournament in which the Rossoneri winger was already managing fitness concerns. Earlier in the competition, calf problems limited his playing time, forcing the United States to carefully manage his workload before he eventually returned for the knockout rounds. La sequenza che ha portato all’infortunio di Pulisic la scorsa notte contro il Belgio #Milan pic.twitter.com/LBFtIgtu8J— Francesco Nasato (@FraNasato) July 7, 2026 It’s been reported that the injury occurred after a collision during an attacking move against Belgium. Although the 27-year-old initially attempted to continue, he was eventually substituted as the Americans crashed out of the tournament. Milan still planning for Pulisic’s return Despite the disappointing World Cup, Milan remains committed to the American international. Club medical staff are reportedly working alongside U.S. Soccer to oversee his rehabilitation, with the target of having him available for preseason training in August. If everything proceeds according to schedule, Pulisic could still be fit for Milan’s Serie A opener later in the summer. That timeline has eased fears of a long-term absence, allowing the Rossoneri to focus on integrating him into Amorim’s tactical plans. Even so, the injury arrived after an already disappointing campaign. Pulisic finished the 2025-26 Serie A season with eight goals and four assists, but his form dipped dramatically over the final months, failing to score across his final 19 league appearances. Christian Pulisic of AC Milan celebrates after scoring a goal. The key factor behind Pulisic’s contract decision Before committing his future to Milan, Pulisic reportedly wants to fully evaluate Ruben Amorim’s sporting project at the club, as per The Athletic. The American’s current contract runs until 2027, while the Italian side also holds an option to extend the agreement by another season. Club executives, however, reportedly hope to secure him on a much longer deal running through either 2030 or 2031. With his 28th birthday approaching in September, Pulisic understands that his next contract could be the last major agreement of his career. Reports suggest he prefers to take his time before making such an important decision rather than rushing into an extension. The situation has also changed dramatically since he departed for the World Cup. Milan now has new leadership, a new coaching staff, and an entirely different sporting direction under Amorim, making the coming months an important evaluation period for the American. While uncertainty surrounds Pulisic’s contract, Amorim has already publicly declared the American indispensable. “Pul
After inconsistent performances in the 2026 World Cup with the USMNT, Christian Pulisic is preparing to compete for his future at AC Milan. While some resting time will be needed, the 27-year-old star is getting ready to train in the preseason tour with the Rossoneri's new Ruben Amorim's project. Christian Pulisic managed to become as the cornerstone of AC Milan. Despite the lack of strikers, he managed to shine under Massimiliano Allegri during the first half of the season. However, he experienced a notable decline in form, going many matches without scoring. Following his inconsistent 2026 World Cup performances, the 27-year-old star looks to regain his best version in the Rossoneri with Ruben Amorim. After already completing the 2025–26 season with AC Milan, Christian Pulisic will have a period of rest following the 2026 World Cup. However, the USMNT star will not return to action until August 2026, when he begins preseason. As announced by the Rossoneri, they will travel to Jakarta to face Chelsea FC at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Saturday, August 8. Even though Pulisic began the season as AC Milan‘s best player, he suffered a notable drop in form. After playing 34 matches, he managed to score only 10 goals and provide 4 assists, going through the second half of the season with almost no goal contributions. While the 27-year-old star was expected to shine with the USMNT, he had a inconsistent impact, raising doubts. Pulisic faces huge test after inconsistent World Cup Following an inconsistent season with AC Milan, Christian Pulisic arrived into the 2026 World Cup, looking for a decisive performance. However, he had a calf injury that affected his performances, limiting him during the tournament. During the four games that he played, he just contributed one assist, playing just a couple of minutes. Fot that reason, the USMNT now faces a huge task at AC Milan. Christian Pulisic #10 of the United States looks on as he walks off at the end of the first half Due to his poor end to the season, the reported interest from numerous Premier League clubs gradually faded. In addition, Pulisic found himself in a worse position to renegotiate his contract extension with the Rossoneri, as he did not shine during the 2026 World Cup. Because of this, he needs to recover his starting role under Ruben Amorim, the new head coach. Unlike the last season, AC Milan are reportedly preparing a roster overhaul, targeting strikers, midfielders and even defenders. In case he does not manage to shine in the preseason, his future might be unclear, losing his privileged spot that he had under Massimiliano Allegri. However, head coach Ruben Amorim supposedly considers him a cornerstone in the wings, similar to Francisco Trincao’s role at SP Sporting.
