MLS commissioner supports NYCFC pursuit of Christian Pulisic

Summary

MLS commissioner Don Garber expressed optimism regarding New York City FC's interest in signing Christian Pulisic. Pulisic, an accomplished U.S. men's national team player, has played abroad his entire professional career. NYCFC aims to secure a high-profile signing before opening Etihad Park next summer. Despite confirmed interest from NYCFC president Brad Sims, he noted that a deal is currently stalled due to AC Milan's reluctance to sell, as Pulisic's contract runs through June 2027.
