Milan are moving to tie down two of Ruben Amorim’s key players, with new deals for Christian Pulisic and Strahinja Pavlovic both under discussion.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, via SempreMilan, Pulisic is the more pressing case. The American’s contract expires at the end of this season, with a club option for a further year, and Milan want to extend it to 2031 with a signature targeted before the end of December.
Talks with his entourage are already underway and the mood is positive. The proposed terms are around €5m net a season plus bonuses, a significant rise reflecting his status. The Rossoneri rejected several approaches over the summer, including one from MLS.

Pavlovic’s situation is less urgent but no less clear. The Serbian is contracted to June 2028 with an option for another year, on roughly €1.7m net. Milan want to push that to 2031 and roughly double the salary to between €3m and €3.5m.
Talks are at an early stage, but both sides want to continue. Pavlovic and Koni De Winter are the only outfield players to have featured in every minute of the season. He turned down Premier League interest in the summer, having settled in Milan and recently bought a house there.
