AC Milan’s business with Chelsea has not stopped after the Ruben Loftus-Cheek agreement as they are also looking to sign Christian Pulisic, a report claims.
According to Calciomercato.com, the good relations between Chelsea and Milan should help matters and there is the willingness to try to close the deal from both clubs at present.
However, there is currently a large distance in the valuation of the USA international. Chelsea are wanting €28m to avoid a big loss on the accounts, while the Rossoneri management have not moved from their stance of €18m being the right figure.
A €10m distance is quite large therefore but there is the ability for a compromise to be found. Milan believe he is ideal profile for the right wing and there is confidence in closing the deal.
The will of the player helps too, given that Pulisic has already given his approval to the idea of joining Milan on a contract that should start at €4m net plus bonuses per season.
F’ing hell who in the right mind would pay that or for that matter 18 mil. Pass
Yeah chelsea need to trim their squad. Pulisic one of their unused player. ACM have advantage in this negotiation , better pass if more than 20m euro
I’d pass on anything more than €15M. Bring in Chukuweze instead and offer him €2M/yr which is more double what he makes now. You save more than €6M a year than what Pulisic is currently making at Chelsea and you get a more explosive winger!
Chukuweze would be an ideal transfer for the rightb wing but we will see if they manage to get him.
No, he wouldn’t because if we get him, we can’t get Kamada because he takes a non EU spot and it would leave no money for a centre forward. It’s madness to waste money on another MF when the attack is the priority.
not sure which player you are hinting at here because pulisic also has a croatian passport and Chukuweze certainly would be a better aquisition than kamada.
i like the deal if its ten but not much more.
Hmm, was hoping that €12-15m tops would be enough as, by my calculations of €60m/5 that’s what they’d need to break even and not record a loss. Am I missing something there?
Probably because they are losing on all of their other transfers so they are trying to recover as much as possible for him. I believe as far as UEFA is concerned (and financials) it is better to lose on depreciation of having him sit on the bench than it is to have a “loss” on their books for him. Assuming someone will come calling by August if ACM doesn’t increase to the offer Chelsea is looking for on him.
Just imagine walking into AC Milan team and becoming one of the highest paid players and you’re not even close to being too 5 best players into the team. 4m plus bonuses? Theo must be thinking they’re kidding right?
Theo will have pay rise if signed new contract . It is still normal winger or striker have high salary rather than LB,RB,CB,GK. Remember maldini give origi 4m euro nett that have poor performance also 3,5m euro nett to rebic & florenzi that often injury. So i dont see whats wrong give pulisic 4m euro nett
Who exactly are the 5 players in Milan dressing room that are better than Pulisic?
Maignan, Theo, Thiaw, Leao, Bennacer, Giroud. Any more questions? Pulisic is an injury prone bottler. Messias is more productive.
