**Liverpool are believed to be battling Arsenal for the signing of AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic in the summer transfer window, according to a new update.**
The Reds may delve into the market for new attacking signings this summer, even though they spent record-breaking amounts of money on Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak last year.
Mohamed Salah could leave Liverpool at the end of the season, amid rumours of a move to the Saudi Pro League, while Cody Gakpo has flattered to deceive. Luis Diaz arguably hasn’t been replaced, either.
According to [_TuttoMercatoWeb_](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/milan-e-pulisic-ancora-nessuna-nuova-sul-rinnovo-ci-pensano-le-big-inglesi-2200500), the Reds and Arsenal are keen on completing the signing of Pulisic from Milan, with the 27-year-old possessing Premier League experience from his spell at Chelsea in the past.
The situation surrounding a potential new deal in Italy has stalled of late, with the Merseysiders possibly looking to steal in and entice him to Anfield in 2026.
**Are Christian Pulisic’s best years behind him?**
--------------------------------------------------
Pulisic is clearly a talented attacking player, with [Massimo Ambrosini](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rafael-leao-usmnt-christian-pulisic-praise-ac-milan-legend/blt1702cba8b0eb7b9e) highlighting his importance at Milan by comparing him to star wide man Rafael Leao:
_“Christian Pulisic has really impressed me especially last year and in the first part of this season. He is a very important player when you look at his goals and assists. He has been even more important than Rafael Leao, you know when he starts a game what level his performance is going to be. You need a player like Christian who is not always an 8/10, 9/10 or 10/10, but is always good.”_
This is a big year for Pulisic, who will be a key figure for the USA at the 2026 World Cup that they are co-hosting, but there are question marks as to whether Liverpool should see him as a top transfer target.
He may still only be 27, but he has been playing elite-level football since he was teenager, and has had injury problems, so the years may slowly be catching up with him.
Liverpool need to be looking at younger wide options instead – those with their peak years still ahead of them – with Pulisic feeling like more of a risky choice when the summer window arrives.
