Milan star Christian Pulisic is among the five finalists for the 2024 USA Male Player of the Year.
Milan winger Pulisic has been named among the finalists for the 2024 USA Male Player of the Year, the USA Soccer Federation announced on Wednesday.
The other four candidates are Folarin Balogun (AS Monaco), Ricardo Pepi (PSV Eindhoven), Tim Ream (Charlotte FC) and Antonee Robinson (Fulham CF).
The American Federation said voting opens December 4 at 10 am ET (16:00 CET).

Pulisic, a former Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund winger, has won the US Soccer Male Player of the Year four times: 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023.
In 2016, he was named US Soccer Young Male Player of the Year.
Pulisic is in his second season at Milan and has scored 23 goals in 69 appearances across all competitions with the Rossoneri.
He’s been arguably Milan’s most consistent player this season, with eight goals and six assists in 19 appearances across all competitions.
His impressive performances have prompted former Milan director Ariedo Braida to compare the 26-year-old to two ex-Milan stars: Pato and Roberto Donadoni.
