Christian Pulisic rejects Cristiano Ronaldo link-up at Al-Nassr as USMNT & AC Milan star makes firm decision on his future

Per Corriere dello Sport, Pulisic has rejected the chance to move to Al-Nassr from Milan, as he would prefer to stay in Italy. The winger is said to have impressed new manager Massimiliano Allegri in pre-season ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, despite reports that contract talks had stalled between the club and the player.

Pulisic made 50 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring 17 goals and registering 12 assists. Milan only finished eighth in Serie A, though, and will not be playing in Europe in 2025-26.

Pulisic recently rejected the chance to play for the USMNT at the Gold Cup, citing a desire to rest and recuperate ahead of the new club season. Whether that stands him in good stead to fire AC Milan back towards Serie A title contention remains to be seen.

Milan play Arsenal on July 23rd at the Singapore National Stadium as their pre-season preparations continue, with Pulisic set to play a starring role.
