USMNT star Christian Pulisic will reportedly sign a contract extension with Milan with a pay rise, but the club is unwilling to offer an increased deal to Theo Hernandez.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the latest transfer updates on Milan stars Pulisic and Theo Hernandez.
With 16 goals scored across all competitions this season, Pulisic has become the top scorer in the Rossoneri squad. According to Gazzetta, the American winger has already agreed to sign a new deal until 2029, with a pay rise from €4m to € 5 m per year.
Pulisic set to sign Milan extension with pay rise, but no Theo improvements
The club is delighted with Pulisic’s performances this season and have already decided to reward the 26-year-old.
Pulisic’s current contract expires in 2027, but Milan have an option to extend for a further campaign.
Theo Hernandez’s situation is entirely different as the Frenchman is possibly having his worst season at San Siro so talks over an improved deal collapsed weeks ago.
Theo, however, has a contract expiring in 2026, which means Milan could risk losing him on a free transfer next season.
Therefore, according to Gazzetta, the Rossoneri will offer him a contract extension to 2027 without a pay rise but it remains to be seen if the defender will shake hands with the Serie A giants.
At this point, when he finally got moved off the left back and given less defensive duties, he has every chance to become the player he was and more. I don’t reme.ber his salary demands, they are probably high, but he isn’t likely to have any suitors this summer. I feel another Hakan situation is coming and would do whatever I could to extend his contract, even at the 6 mill a year that was reported, as hia potential in the 343 is significant at this point.
