Christian Pulisic told he MUST reject Liverpool

Christian Pulisic has been told in no uncertain terms that he must reject Liverpool - despite the Reds’ reported interest.

Liverpool have been linked with Christian Pulisic in recent weeks - and it's one that does make sense. Mohamed Salah is coming to the end of his time at club, even if he does sign a new contract, and the American is a solid choice to replace him.

Now, that might surprise some. Pulisic didn't thrive at Chelsea before leaving the club last year and moving to Serie A. That, however, is exactly the same career path that Salah himself took.

And Pulisic has thrived since joining AC Milan. He didn't score against Bayer Leverkusen in midweek - but that was the first time since August that he failed to net.

A streak of five goals and two assists across six games has Pulisic flying. Liverpool are supposedly interested - but he's been urged to reject their advances.

Christian Pulisic told to reject Liverpool

"It's a massive club," former US international Herculez Gomez told ESPN of AC Milan. "And he's finally found a place where he's valued.

"He's finally found a place where it doesn't matter who the coach is, he's comfortable in multiple positions. I wouldn't just jeopardise that for a move back to the Premier League.

"And I understand that Liverpool is a big club, sure, it is. But by no stretch of the imagination would I go out there and say it's a much bigger club than AC Milan.

"I like the fact that he's found a place where he's thriving. I like the fact that he feels comfortable in a setup and he is the man there. And they think of him as a leader! They think of him as an important piece to that puzzle there."

Gomez unquestionably has a point. Pulisic has struggled to be 'the' player at a club but he's currently heading in that direction at one of the world's biggest.

He simply wouldn't get that at Liverpool. He may not even have a regular starting role. As things stand, leaving Milan for Anfield would be a massive risk - and one he may be tempted to reject.
