New York City FC has expressed interest in signing Christian Pulisic from AC Milan, though the Italian club is not willing to sell the American midfielder. NYCFC president Brad Sims made the comments Thursday at a league event promoting the resumption of the Major League Soccer season.
Sims said any of the league's 29 other team presidents would want Pulisic and that the league itself would welcome him.
"If AC Milan doesn't want to give him up, then it's dead in the water," Sims said. He added that NYCFC believes Pulisic wants to return to the United States and that the club would rank high on his list of preferred teams. Pulisic, 27, from Hershey, Pennsylvania, is entering the fourth season of a five-year contract with AC Milan.
He previously played for Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea. He has scored 33 goals in 90 appearances for the United States national team. washingtontimes.com reported that Pulisic scored 10 goals in his first 15 appearances for Milan last season before a later goal drought.
