Milan Faces Decisive Decisions Regarding Several Players
AC Milan is experiencing a state of uncertainty regarding the future of several of its players, including Luka Modric, Rafael Leao, and Christian Pulisic, as well as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo Tomori, with the summer transfer window approaching.
According to "La Gazzetta dello Sport," AC Milan's 2025/2026 season experienced noticeable fluctuations in results. The team held the second position for extended periods before significantly declining since April, which almost jeopardized their place among the top four in the Italian league.
The team's position in the Champions League race improved after a 2-1 away victory over Genoa, coinciding with Juventus' 2-0 loss to Fiorentina, allowing Milan to rise to third place, two points ahead of fifth place, before the final round of the league.
The newspaper indicates that qualifying for the UEFA Champions League is a crucial factor in Modric's future. He joined on a one-year contract with an option to extend after leaving Real Madrid, but his continuation is still directly linked to European participation.
On the other hand, European qualification does not guarantee Leão's continuation, as the same source indicated that the Portuguese player is nearing the end of his seventh season with the team, with the club considering the possibility of selling him during the summer.
As for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, reports indicate that he is also close to leaving as he enters the final year of his contract and has been away from the starting lineup this season, with a return to England being likely.
As for Christian Pulisic, AC Milan attempted to reach an agreement to renew his contract, but negotiations stalled in recent months, as the player demanded a salary similar to that of Leão, while not being fully convinced by the current project at San Siro.
Pulisic's contract ends in the summer of 2027, and the newspaper indicates that the club has two options during the summer: either to renew or to sell.
On the other hand, Fikayo Tomori is close to staying with Milan, as the management is nearing a final agreement to renew his contract, increasing his salary from 3.5 million euros to about 4 million euros annually.
