Christian Pulisic nominated for Serie A Midfielder of the Season award

Christian Pulisic’s impactful first season in Serie A has earned him a major nomination.

Pulisic has been nominated for the Serie A Midfielder of the Season award for the 2023-24 campaign. The U.S. men’s national team attacker is joined by Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners and Inter Milan’s Hakan Çalhanoğlu for the award.

The 25-year-old Pulisic made the permanent move to AC Milan last summer from Chelsea and enjoyed a smooth transition. Pulisic scored 15 goals and added nine assists across 49 combined appearances for the Rossoneri.

His 12 league goals are second-most in the AC Milan squad behind Olivier Giroud while his seven assists are the third-most behind Rafael Leao and Giroud. The 2023-24 campaign marked the most productive season of Pulisic’s club career to date.

AC Milan has already sealed a return to the UEFA Champions League next season after finishing second in the Serie A table. The Rossoneri closes out their competitive schedule against Salernitana on Saturday.

Pulisic is expected to have a busy summer after being called into USMNT duty for upcoming June friendlies vs. Colombia and Brazil. Gregg Berhalter’s squad will also host the Copa America tournament on home soil, beginning June 21.
