New York City FC is on the verge of a major transfer coup with a €50m offer for Milan's Christian Pulisic. The American forward is tempted by the deal, which would bring him back to the United States.

What's behind the offer?

The offer is a five-year, €10m-per-season contract, a significant increase from the €5m per season discussed in contract extension talks with Milan.

This transfer would be a major signing for New York City FC, who are currently 5th in Major League Soccer with 56 points from 34 games. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 5th | | Points | 56 | | Goals scored | 50 | | Goals conceded | 44 |
