Long-Term Extension Secured Before Derby Strike Against Inter
Christian Pulisic committed his future to AC Milan with a contract extension through 2031 before opening the scoring in Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Inter Milan at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The 28-year-old American forward marked his extended stay by striking first in the Derby della Madonnina, bringing his total against local rivals Inter to four goals.
The derby win lifted Milan to fifth place in Serie A with 21 points from ten matches. While trailing league leaders Lazio by seven points, the result reinforced Milan’s ability to claim decisive outcomes in high-profile domestic fixtures.
