Liverpool monitoring Christian Pulisic’s performances in Italy ahead of potential post-World Cup move
The English side is looking to strengthen its attacking options following the difficulties it has faced this season.
Christian Pulisic’s tenure at AC Milan has completely rewritten his European narrative. The American winger hasn't just rediscovered his best form at the San Siro; today, he stands as a vital offensive pillar for the Rossoneri alongside legends like Luka Modrić and Mike Maignan. His resurgence has not gone unnoticed, sparking intense interest from the continent's most powerful clubs.
Chief among them is Liverpool, currently weighing up aggressive moves to bolster their attack for the upcoming summer window—set to open just as the 2026 World Cup kicks off on American soil.
Pulisic: The Heart of the New AC Milan
Under the tactical guidance of Massimiliano Allegri, Milan has found a winning competitive balance. The manager has built a squad that is defensively rock-solid and offensively lethal, with Modrić serving as the creative architect and Pulisic providing the constant threat on the wings.
The "Lehigh Valley" native has taken a massive leap this season. His goals, assists, and willingness to shoulder responsibility in high-stakes moments have turned him into a locker-room leader. What began as a campaign focused on securing a Champions League return has evolved into a legitimate hunt for the Scudetto, with rivals Inter Milan firmly in their sights. Pulisic has finally found the consistency that eluded him earlier in his career, providing the depth and mobility Allegri’s system demands.
Liverpool’s Urgent Need for Reinforcements
Back in England, Liverpool is planning a total offensive overhaul following a season defined by adversity. The departure of Darwin Núñez to the Saudi Pro League and the devastating blow of the Diogo Jota tragedy have left the squad desperate for proven attacking options.
According to reports from journalist Nicolò Schira, the Anfield hierarchy has identified Pulisic as a priority target. His prior Premier League experience with Chelsea, combined with his current footballing maturity, makes him the "perfect fit" for the Reds' high-intensity style.
The Price of Success
Milan’s gamble on Pulisic when his market value was dipping has paid off handsomely. Today, the Italian club is reaping the rewards. If Pulisic maintains this level and Milan clinches the league title, his valuation is expected to skyrocket.
Current estimates suggest a potential transfer fee in the region of €50 million to €60 million ($54M - $65M). At 27, Pulisic is in his absolute prime. Last season, he clocked over 3,600 minutes across 50 official matches, racking up 17 goals and 10 assists—numbers that reflect a player capable of deciding games on his own.
The coming summer could be a turning point for both the player and the club. While Milan dreams of lifting the Scudetto, Liverpool is watching closely, ready to bring back a player who, after years of ups and downs, is once again one of the most coveted names in the European market.
