Latest Chelsea transfer news as Christian Pulisic looks set to leave the Blues with Manchester United and Newcastle said to be keen on the USMNT star as well as Italian sides
Christian Pulisic looks set for a Chelsea exit this summer.
He played all-but-one minute of a possible 180 for the USMNT having ended the season with only 33 minutes in the Premier League from the final seven games of the season. As Chelsea look to move on fringe players such as Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Edouard Mendy, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kalidou Koulibaly, clubs are circling in the hope of getting a bargain.
And with Pulisic, that is what potential suitors may get with Serie A sides AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli all interested in the player. It has even been claimed that Chelsea's Premier League rivals Manchester United and Newcastle United have been approached by Pulisic's representatives about a move to another top-flight rival.
The latest reports from Italy, via Tuttosport, claim that Pulisic could be available for between £8.5 million ($10.8m) and £10.25m ($13m), a bargain price in comparison to the fees currently being paid for players around the Premier League with just as much experience. It had previously been reported that Chelsea were hoping for around £20m ($24m).
Milan have been heavily linked with Pulisic but they are said to prefer solving an issue on their right-hand side by bringing in a left-footed player such as Fenerbahce's Arda Guler and the Villarreal star Samuel Chukwueze. Milan are looking to add quality to their side after a run to the Champions League semi-finals and a fourth-placed finish in Serie A last season.
Pulisic may have to sit tight for a little while before a club makes their move for the player.
