On Monday, Sport Witness covered Italian sources pushing Premier League interest in AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic. Now, Arsenal and Liverpool have been thrown into the mix.
A fee of €55m is considered enough to land the American in the summer. This is largely due to his contract situation, with Milan struggling to extend his deal beyond 2027.
Tuttomercatoweb have added some more details about the situation, and it’s turning into something of an Italian drama.
Liverpool and Arsenal are presented as being especially keen on the transfer. The Premier League pair are the latest names, in what appears an effort to get a better renewal.
The 27-year-old had expected the Rossoneri to make a formal offer by now. It hasn’t arrived yet and Pulisic is ‘taken aback’ by how things have unfolded. He has been key in Serie A this season and he wants to be paid back in an appropriate way. The report clarifies that ‘it’s too late’ for Milan and they now have to hurry.
Arsenal and Liverpool presented as serious
The Rossoneri had initially promised specific terms to Pulisic but had never formalised the offer. This should be done soon but in the meantime, Arsenal and Liverpool are lingering as a threat.
The report is probably a way to pressure Milan into tying down the ex-Chelsea player as soon as possible. However, if there are still delays, things could move in a different direction. Arsenal and Liverpool interest is presented as serious, but it would have to be to help Pulisic.
