The report says NYCFC have approached Milan, with Roma also reportedly making an enquiry. Neither move is confirmed, and there is no indication that negotiations have reached an advanced stage.
The timing is significant. NYCFC’s new stadium is expected to open for the 2027 season, giving the club a clear commercial reason to target a high-profile United States international. Pulisic’s status as a national-team captain and established European attacker would make him a natural headline signing.
Milan’s position remains the central obstacle. The report says owner Gerry Cardinale and senior adviser Zlatan Ibrahimovic both want Pulisic to remain part of the club’s plans, even if they are not aligned on every issue.
Pulisic’s production explains why a transfer would be difficult. Since joining Milan three seasons ago, he has reportedly recorded 31 Serie A goals and 21 assists. Those 52 league goal involvements underline his importance to the team’s attack.
The financial gap also appears substantial. The report cites a €40 million valuation for Pulisic, compared with NYCFC’s previous record fees of approximately $8.5 million. Even without a confirmed asking price, that market signal suggests a deal would require a significant change in the club’s transfer strategy.
His recent form for the United States has further strengthened his profile, with the report noting that he created a goal against Paraguay before being withdrawn at half-time.
For now, this remains a single-source transfer link rather than a confirmed negotiation. NYCFC would need Milan to soften their stance, while Pulisic’s continued importance in Serie A gives the Italian club strong reasons to resist a summer move to MLS.
