ESPN: Milan and Man Utd eye winger that cost Chelsea €67m but Juventus lead race

Chelsea are willing to sell Christian Pulisic as part of a big summer clear-out and AC Milan are among the interested teams, a report claims.

According to what is being reported by ESPN, Chelsea are looking to offload Pulisic and they would accept a fee of close to £20m (€23m) despite having paid £58m (€67m) to sign him from Borussia Dortmund back in 2019.

Mauricio Pochettino has been confirmed as the new head coach at Stamford Bridge but he is not expected to oppose to the plans of the club’s hierarchy to listen to the offers that arrive for Pulisic, who has a year left on his deal.

Manchester United, Newcastle, Napoli, Milan and Galatasaray have ‘all been made aware of the player’s likely fee and salary’ as per the report, and they have discovered that he earns £13m (€15m) per season with the Blues.

It is Juve who are currently leading the race but they are reluctant to offer the same salary as what he currently earns, though it is possible the USA international would take a pay cut.

Pulisic made 30 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea in the 2022-23 season, scoring just once, and the influx of new signings for the attacking department risks seeing his playing time decrease.
