Lyon submit bid for AC Milan target Christian Pulisic
European clubs are keen on signing USMNT forward Christian Pulisic from Chelsea this summer.
USMNT forward Christian Pulisic looks set to leave Chelsea and has interest from France and Italy. AC Milan have started negotiations for Pulisic, who is reportedly keen on a move to San Siro.
Milan are willing to pay a fee in the region of €15 million for the 24-year-old, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, however, Chelsea believe that the former Borussia Dortmund player is worth at least €20 million. Despite the differences between the parties, they are set to continue working to find an agreement over the coming days.
Pulisic to accept lower salary
Pulisic is willing to lower his wage to move to the Serie A outfit. He currently earns €4 million per season at Stamford Bridge and Milan would pay a lower salary if they are to complete the signing of the US international.
The 24-year-old forward had a disappointing campaign last season and with Chelsea signing forwards Christopher Nkunku and Senegal forward Nicolas Jackson, he has less and less of a role at the club.
