Christian Pulisic watches club transfer plans shift as Alexander Sorloth and Leon Goretzka make decision on Milan move amid Robert Lewandowski rumors

With Alexander Sorloth, Leon Goretzka, and Robert Lewandowski all linked in recent reports, the Italian giant appears determined to reshape the squad before next season begins. Christian Pulisic will be paying close attention to what happens next at Milan, as the club prepares for a crucial summer rebuild. With Alexander Sorloth, Leon Goretzka, and Robert Lewandowski all linked in recent reports, the Italian giant appears determined to reshape the squad before next season begins. After an uneven campaign, Milan is said to be targeting proven experience and immediate quality. According to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the search for a striker remains central, while midfield reinforcement is also high on the agenda as the club plans for a likely return to European competition. The report adds that Milan’s leadership wants to hand coach Massimiliano Allegri a more traditional centre-forward, a profile the squad has lacked in recent seasons. Attempts to use other attacking players in central roles have not fully solved the issue, leaving the club eager to act decisively this summer. Several names have surfaced, but the message is clear: the Rossoneri want a striker who can score consistently and lead the line immediately. Lewandowski and Dusan Vlahovic were mentioned among possible options, though salary demands could complicate either move. Alexander Sorloth of Atletico Madrid Lewandowski’s reputation remains enormous, but La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests his financial expectations sit above Milan’s preferred structure. That has encouraged the club to explore alternatives that may offer stronger overall value. The mystery decision revealed The most significant development in La Gazzetta dello Sport’s latest reporting is that both Alexander Sorloth and Leon Goretzka have both given their approval to a potential summer move to Milan. While neither deal is complete, the signals are said to be positive. For Massimiliano Allegri’s side, that would represent a major early statement in the transfer market. Landing two established internationals before pre-season would instantly strengthen both the attack and midfield. Leon Goretzka of FC Bayern Munich in action during the UEFA Champions League. Sorloth is reportedly open to requesting a move from Atletico Madrid once the season ends. Goretzka, meanwhile, is said to be interested in the project but intends to wait until the campaign concludes before making a final choice. Why Sorloth appeals to Milan The Norwegian striker has become one of the most discussed names on the Serie A giant’s shortlist. He has scored regularly despite not always being a guaranteed starter, which has made him an attractive option for a club seeking efficiency and experience. This season, he has reportedly produced 17 goals in 48 appearances, a strong return considering his rotational role. As per La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan believes he could become a regular focal point in Serie A rather than a squad option. What’s more, Atletico Madrid could ask for around $47 million, though the Italian outfit hopes that figure may drop closer to $23-30 million plus bonuses depending on circumstances later in the summer. Goretzka seen as midfield upgrade Milan is also believed to be pushing for Leon Goretzka, who would bring experience, leadership, and Champions League pedigree. The German midfielder has long been admired and could arrive as a free transfer if he leaves Bayern Munich. The report states Milan has offered a three-year contract with an option for an additional season. That structure suggests the club sees him as an important part of the next cycle rather than a short-term gamble. At 31, the German international may still attract other offers, and that is why no final agreement is expected yet. Still, his reported approval gives Milan reason for optimism.

Mohamed Salah’s injury casts shadow just 46 days before 2026 World Cup as Arne Slot offers worrying update after substitution in Liverpool’s victory

Mohamed Salah has become the focus of fresh concern after Liverpool’s latest victory, with the Egyptian star suffering an injury just 46 days before the 2026 World Cup. Mohamed Salah has become the focus of fresh concern after Liverpool’s latest victory, with the Egyptian star suffering an injury just 46 days before the 2026 World Cup. Manager Arne Slot now faces an anxious wait, as both Liverpool and Egypt hope the forward avoids a serious setback at a critical stage of the season. Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 at Anfield to strengthen its push for UEFA Champions League qualification, but the result was overshadowed by Salah’s second-half substitution. With only a handful of matches left in his Anfield career, the timing could hardly be worse. The Reds took an important three points thanks to goals from Alexander Isak, Andy Robertson, and Florian Wirtz. The victory moved the club into the top four and improved its chances of returning to Europe’s elite competition next season. Yet much of the post-match discussion centered on Salah. The 33-year-old went down near the hour mark, immediately grabbing the back of his left leg before being replaced by Jeremie Frimpong. Mohamed Salah of Liverpool looks dejected during the Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round match. Supporters inside Anfield gave him a standing ovation as he walked off, and Salah applauded all sides of the stadium. Given his confirmed summer departure, many instantly feared it may have been an emotional farewell. What happened to Salah? Early reports from The Independent indicate Salah may have suffered a hamstring injury in his left leg. He is expected to undergo scans and medical tests to determine the extent of the damage. The moment appeared serious because Salah rarely leaves matches voluntarily. That fact alone increased concern among Liverpool staff and fans. His body language also drew attention, with several outlets reporting he looked distressed as he made his way to the sideline. For a player known for durability, it was an unusual sight. Oh salah, I sincerely hope it’s nothing serious. https://t.co/jAL5lMqPW1 pic.twitter.com/HPCoxKLJbc — Ipostanything LFC (@ipostanythingLF) April 25, 2026 What did Arne Slot say? Slot did little to calm fears after the final whistle, admitting there is genuine uncertainty around the player’s condition. The Dutch coach stressed that tests are still needed before any timeline can be confirmed. “Another win and another injury. It’s the story of our season,” the Dutch manager said. “It’s too early to say but we all know Mo and how hard it is for him to leave the pitch. For Mo to leave the pitch, it shows you something but we have to wait and see how bad it is.” Later, he added: “We don’t know, that is the best answer I can give… We simply don’t know but what we do know is that the season in four weeks is over.” Slot also tried to offer hope by pointing to Salah’s professionalism. “What I do know about Mo is he has taken such good care of his body all these years that he will have the minimum time required to recover from an injury.” What does the injury mean for Egypt? The injury concern extends far beyond Liverpool. Egypt is set to return to the World Cup, and Salah remains the national side’s captain, leader, and biggest star. The African nation has already qualified and will open its campaign on June 15 against Belgium in Seattle. Mohamed Salah of Egypt Group matches against Iran and New Zealand follow, meaning preparation time is now limited. If the hamstring issue proves significant, Salah could arrive at the tournament lacking rhythm or even facing a race to be fit. That would be a major blow for a team built around his influence.
