'Well deserved' - USMNT winger Christian Pulisic reacts to contract extension for crucial AC Milan teammate

Serie A

AC Milan

Como

<p>U.S. international Christian Pulisic took to social media to express his happiness that Milan handed teammate Tijjani Reijnders a contract extension, <a href="https://football-italia.net/pulisic-reijnders-milan-extension-two-word/" target="_blank">commenting "well deserved"</a> as the club announced a five-year deal for their midfielder. Reijnders has established himself as a key part of Milan's midfield over the past two seasons and has scored 12 goals in 40 appearances for the <em>Rossonieri </em>this campaign.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Pulisic himself is yet to pen a long-term deal. He is still on his initial contract in Italy, which expires in the summer of 2027. There has been scattered talk that the American might seek an exit from Serie A, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/christian-pulisic-liverpool-usmnt-star-players-replace-mohamed-salah-anfield/bltb0517ee9e6f0bb29" target="_self">suggestions that Liverpool are interested in securing his signature</a>. It has been a difficult month for Pulisic, whose form has dropped under new manager Sergio Conceicao, who joined midseason after Paulo Fonseca was fired. It has led to talk in Italian media that there is a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/ac-milan-manager-sergio-conceicao-reported-rift-with-usmnt-christian-pulisic-ucl-loss-to-feyenoord/blt3d56f044431e2a60" target="_self">rift between him and the new manager.</a></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Pulisic insisted he is happy at Milan <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/i-am-very-happy-at-milan-usmnt-star-christian-pulisic-denies-italian-media-reports-of-rift-with-new-coach-sergio-conceicao/blt45ae19f595a5d3b6" target="_blank">in an official statement</a>: "I have never argued with the coach and I have never asked to leave. I am very happy at Milan and I want to continue wearing this shirt. Reading these lies is unacceptable, but let's all continue to remain united and fight together on the pitch, for the club and for our fans."</p>

WHAT PULISIC SAID

<p>The American figures to be back in the picture when AC Milan take on Lecce this Saturday. They are currently ninth in Serie A, six points off sixth place - which would earn them a UEFA Conference League spot.</p>
