"Leao is once again at the centre of a storm after his reaction to being substituted during the defeat against Lazio on Sunday night, and it is just the latest incident that has not pleased the club's management. In recent weeks, even on the eve of the match in Rome, there were signs of Leao not being 100% focused. More specifically, he skipped breakfast a few times and was too distracted."
"Like Leao, Pulisic is not having a good run, so much so that he hasn't scored in 2026 or even registered an assist. Chronic bursitis is affecting him significantly, but his numbers are starting to become worrying. A contract renewal for the American has also been under discussion for some time, but unlike Rafa, Milan are pushing for an extension as quickly as possible."
AC Milan remains committed to extending contracts for Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao, though both players face challenges. Leao has drawn criticism for his reaction to substitution during a loss to Lazio and recent lack of focus, including skipping breakfast and appearing distracted before matches. His renewal is temporarily on hold while the club evaluates potential summer offers. Pulisic struggles with chronic bursitis and has not scored or assisted in recent matches, with his statistics becoming concerning. Despite these issues, Milan is actively pushing for Pulisic's contract extension, viewing him as a long-term asset for the club.
