Tare faced questions about players’ sales and possible extensions, including a possible new deal for Christian Pulisic.

“He will be a key player for next season: I will have the opportunity to discuss the renewal with Giorgio at the right time, but right now we are only focused on the team,” Tare said via SempreMilan.

“I think he was one of the most positive players last season, and he is one of the pillars of the season to come: he has a central role in this group.”

Pulisic was Milan’s best scorer in 2024-25, scoring 17 goals and providing 12 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions.
