Christian Pulisic linked to NYCFC as MLS move speculation grows

NYCFC CEO Brad Sims has reaffirmed his ambition to sign Christian Pulisic, despite AC Milan's insistence that the USMNT star is not for sale. The 24-year-old's potential move to MLS has gained traction, especially with NYCFC's new stadium set to open in July 2027.

What did Brad Sims say about Christian Pulisic?

During an event in New York last Thursday, Sims expressed his belief that Pulisic will eventually want to play in MLS. He hopes NYCFC will be at the top of the USMNT forward's list when that time comes. Sims also acknowledged that every MLS team would be interested in signing Pulisic, emphasizing the league's desire to have him back in the United States.

Why is NYCFC interested in Christian Pulisic?

Sims envisions Pulisic becoming the face of NYCFC's new era, similar to Lionel Messi's impact on Inter Miami. The CEO sees Pulisic as a key figure in attracting fans and elevating the club's profile. However, AC Milan has made it clear that Pulisic is not for sale, at least for now.

What does this mean for Christian Pulisic's future?

While Pulisic's immediate future remains with AC Milan, the speculation about his eventual return to MLS continues. NYCFC's new stadium, set to open in July 2027, could be a significant factor in his decision. For now, Pulisic remains focused on his club and international duties, with his next challenge likely to be with AC Milan in the upcoming season.
