The American winger, without question the best player at both AC Milan and the USMNT, Christian Pulisic’s transfer value is climbing as he continues to make his case as the USMNT all-time GOAT. For a generation of fans spoiled by cheering for players from afar like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo,

AC Milan needed to respond after losing to Liverpool in the Champions League opening game, and Rossoneri manager Paulo Fonseca needed it to save his job after a poor start to the season. AC Milan won 2-1 in the first Derby della Madonnina of the season against Inter on Sunday thanks to the goals of USMNT winger Christian Pulisic and the deciding one of defender Matteo Gabbia.

Christian Pulisic is in a period of brilliance unseen in USMNT circles since a certain Clint Dempsey tormented defenses about 15 years ago.
