Christian Pulisic, the United States men's national team captain and one of American football's most recognisable stars, is set to commit his future to AC Milan by signing a new contract that will keep him at the club through to 2031, sources have told ESPN.

The deal would represent a significant long-term commitment from both player and club, tying Pulisic to Milan well into the next decade and signalling the Italian giants' confidence in the 26-year-old as a cornerstone of their project.
