TRANSFER MARKET
AC Milan close to agreement with USMNT forward Christian Pulisic
USMNT forward Christian Pulisic could be on his way to Serie A from Chelsea after a disappointing season at Stamford Bridge.
Christian Pulisic and AC Milan are close to reaching an agreement over a move to San Siro this summer, according to Italian transfer journalist Matteo Moretto.
The Rossoneri have started the negotiations and Pulisic is keen on the move but Chelsea want €25 million for the forward. Milan are insisting to pay less with the parties set to continue working to find a deal in the coming days.
Milan have also started talks with Villarreal for Nigerian forward Samuel Chukwueze, which would provide competition for Pulisic in the final third of the pitch.
Lyon interest
Lyon’s American owners have also contacted Pulisic, according to French outlet L’Équipe.
Pulisic, who has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer, is reportedly a target of John Textor’s Eagle Football group.
The 24-year-old forward had a poor campaign in 2022-23 and may not be part of Mauricio Pochettino’s plans going forward as Chelsea continue to sign forward players, including Christopher Nkunku and Senegal forward Nicolas Jackson.
Italian interest
Italian sides Juventus and Serie A champions Napoli have also been linked with a move for the left-footed attacker.
Last season, Pulisic only played 1,012 minutes in thirty appearances across all competitions for the West London club.
