Mansion Sports - Christian Pulisic has reportedly turned down an offer from Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, a club known for its financial clout and star-studded lineup, including Cristiano Ronaldo. 

The American international’s decision underscores his renewed focus and commitment to his resurgence at AC Milan, where he has become an integral part of the club’s rebuilding efforts.

A New Chapter of Success in Milan After Struggles at Chelsea

Pulisic’s time at Chelsea was marked by inconsistency and limited opportunities, but his move to AC Milan has sparked a renaissance in his career. 

Since joining the Rossoneri, the United States winger has made a significant impact, contributing to 55 goals across 100 appearances in all competitions.

This consistent form has helped restore his confidence and draw interest from wealthy clubs, including Al Nassr. However, rather than being swayed by the allure of a lucrative contract, Pulisic has chosen to stay the course with Milan.

Pulisic Content in Milan, Turns Down Financially Tempting Offer

Despite Al Nassr’s reputation for offering lavish contracts—bolstered by state-backed funding and favorable tax structures—Pulisic declined their advances.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the 25-year-old forward is "very happy at Milan right now" and has no desire to leave for the Saudi Pro League, even if the financial rewards are considerable.

Pulisic’s refusal to make the switch illustrates his prioritization of sporting ambition and long-term development over short-term financial gain.

Contract Extension Talks Underway

Discussions are currently ongoing between Pulisic and AC Milan regarding a contract extension through 2029, which would reportedly include a significant salary increase. 

However, no official agreement has been signed as of yet. The player remains under contract until June 30, 2027.

His choice to remain committed to Milan aligns with his belief in the club’s long-term project. Despite a disappointing finish in the previous Serie A season—where Milan ended in eighth place and missed out on European competition—Pulisic appears eager to help restore the club’s historic stature.

Milan Rebuilds with Modrić and Allegri at the Helm

Last season’s underachievement has prompted a clear response from AC Milan’s leadership. The club secured the high-profile signing of veteran midfielder Luka Modrić, a decorated champion whose presence is intended to instill a winning mentality. In his first interview as a Milan player, the 39-year-old delivered a clear message:

"AC Milan must not settle for mediocrity. We must aim as high as possible—to win titles and compete with the best teams in the world."

In addition, Milan has brought back Massimiliano Allegri as head coach—eleven years after his dismissal—and appointed former Lazio sporting director Igli Tare to lead recruitment efforts. 

The combined experience and ambition of the new leadership team signal a determined push to bring Milan back to the pinnacle of European football.

Christian Pulisic, now fully integrated into the Milan project, seems poised to play a pivotal role in the Rossoneri's revival. 

His decision to resist external temptations and remain in Italy reflects both his personal growth and his belief in what AC Milan can achieve in the coming seasons.
