Add The New York Post on Google New York City FC is looking to make a splash following the World Cup.
The MLS side is interested in bringing American soccer star Christian Pulisic to the Big Apple, The Post confirmed Wednesday.
The move would bring one of the sport’s most high-profile American stars to NYCFC since the club had the trio of Frank Lampard, David Villa and Andrea Pirlo.
Christian Pulisic (10) of USA controls the ball during the 2026 FIFA World Cup First Stage Group D match between USA and Paraguay at SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles Stadium) in Los Angeles, California, United States on June 12, 2026. Anadolu via Getty Images Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that the club was prepared to offer Pulisic a $10 million contract in order to bring him to New York. The Post was not able to independently confirm that figure.
But as of right now, AC Milan, Pulisic’s current club team, is not interested in shopping the 27-year-old striker, though should that stance change, there would be other MLS suitors in the mix, according to The Athletic.

He did leave the match after the first half with a left calf injury, which kept him out of the Americans’ 2-0 win over Australia.
He told reporters on Wednesday that he’s ready to return for the final group stage match against Turkey on Thursday.

The club is on the playoff bubble and is preparing to move into a brand new stadium in Queens, next door to Citi Field, in 2027.
Pulisic would be a big boost for the club’s profile ahead of the move.
The Hershey, Pa., native had been on a roll to start the season for Milan before he slowed his pace and didn’t score another goal after December.
Pulisic finished the Serie A season with eight goals and six assists.
