• WHAT NEXT?

  There have been suggestions that Pulisic could be deployed as a No.10 by Milan this season, having thrived on the right wing last term. He posted a career-best return of 15 goals in 2023-24 and will be hoping to raise that bar again when it comes to end product and decisive contributions in the final third.
