AC Milan & Lyon battle for Chelsea's Pulisic
Serie A giants, AC Milan have made their first offer of Chelsea's Christian Pulisic, who they see in support up front for Olivier Giroud. The first bid may be rejected, however, as it's less than the Blues' valuation of the American. Ligue 1 side, Lyon have made their second bid however, which clocks in at €25 million, which Chelsea would find more acceptable.

Another sale could be coming Chelsea's way, as AC Milan have made their first bid for forward Christian Pulisic, reports 'The Athletic'. This comes just days after the announcement of Blues' academy graduate Ruben Loftus-Cheek making the move to Serie A with the 'Rossoneri'.
Pulisic would also join former Chelsea teammate Olivier Giroud, who he would play in support of up front for Milan. There was a verbal agreement reported earlier this week between the Italian club and the player, but now Milan must make a deal with Chelsea.
The first offer is reportedly only €14 million, more than €10 million short of the supposed €25 million the Blues want to part with the USMNT striker, who has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
They face stiff competition however, as the same outlet reported that Ligue 1 outfit, Lyon have submitted a second written bid for the American, which reaches Chelsea's valuation and includes a strong sell-on clause. It remains to be seen where Pulisic will play his next season, but it looks unlikely to be in London.
