Christian Pulisic is very close to joining AC Milan and Stefano Pioli sees him as being a multi-faceted player for the attack, a report claims.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan), Pulisic is ‘one step away’ from joining Milan and should follow Marco Sportiello, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Luka Romero as the fourth reinforcement of the summer window.
Milan have offered €18m plus €4m in bonuses, while Chelsea’s €25m asking price has softened because of the winger’s desire to leave and move to Italy. He even has an agreement over personal terms: €4m net per season for four years.
For Pioli, Pulisic is a wild card for his attack because he can play both wings as he has done at Dortmund and Chelsea, but he can also function as a playmaker in a 4-2-3-1 as he has done for the USA national team.
His arrival would also be important from a marketing point of view for the club, given that RedBird Capital are keen to increase Milan’s brand presence in the States.
Haha they’re trying to sign him before the US tour. Now it’s the marketing team and some algorithm building the roster. For 2024 we will sign some player from the Qatar national team and play friendlies there. Same in 2025 with a Chinese, 2026 some guy from the moon, etc.
Nothing wrong sign him before pre season. Remember CDK failed because not participating on pre season. Chelsea want that deal finish faster too
I have nothing against him, I don’t know him personally but I’m so confused by this mercato, so is the front staff. First, we have no money, alright. Second, we sell one of our best players for money. Then we are in desperate need of midfielders, they remembered that Loftus-Cheek was interested so they overpaid to get him. Now they will overpay for some American players, Pulisic and Musah, because it looks like we want some faces for the US market. Neither Ruben, Pulisic nor Musah bring guarantees, they all come with question marks. With all that money, we could have signed Milinkovic-Savic and Orsolini. There are a lof of parameters to recruit a player these days, and most of them are business related.
