Latest Chelsea transfer news as Christian Pulisic prepares for a big summer with Man United, Newcastle, AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli all interested in the USMNT ace
Christian Pulisic looks set to leave Chelsea this summer.
The 24 year-old has struggled to make a consistent mark during his time at Stamford Bridge since signing from Borussia Dortmund for around £58 million in 2019. It has not been easy for Pulisic in terms of having to deal with injuries and a revolving cast of managers and team-mates at Stamford Bridge.
His time at the Blues looks to have fizzled out in a whimper having been afforded just 33 minutes of Premier League game-time in the last seven matches of the 2022/23 season. Contrasted to the 179 minutes he played over two games for the United States of America this month, it illustrates just how bleak things have got for Pulisic.
Here, we look at the latest transfer talk around Pulisic's future...
Milan, who finished fourth in Serie A and made the semi-finals of the Champions League, are looking to beef up their squad this summer. Pulisic is certainly an option, but there could be competition for the player from Milan's rivals Napoli and Juventus.
Speaking at a press conference while on international duty with the USMNT this month, Pulisic discussed his time at Chelsea and what the summer may hold. "It's been a tough season for me personally and for our team at club level," he said.
Hinting at a potential exit, he added: "I thought it was a great couple years and the last couple years just haven't gone at all how I've planned them to be. This summer, we're obviously going to have to see what happens."
Pulisic is one of few players who could be sold by Chelsea for a relatively large fee with the CIES Football Observatory estimating his value to be around $44 million (£34.9m), though his club are said to be looking for less. Come the end of the month, Pulisic will be into the final year of the contract he signed with Chelsea back in 2019.
His value is dwindling and it is up to Chelsea to either try and make sure he becomes a key part of the club's plans going forward or try to sell him. As early as January, Pulisic can negotiate with a club abroad over a free transfer that would become official in a year's time.
