Christian Pulisic has moved up his departure day from Chelsea. It's not exactly a secret that the American is looking to leave after struggling to make an impact last season with the Blues, and new manager Mauricio Pochettino will be keen to offload one of the club's highest earners.
There had been links with Ligue 1 side, Olympique Lyonnais, but now 'ESPN' reports that a verbal agreement has been reached with Serie A titans AC Milan for a long-term contract. The 24-year-old is willing to take a significant pay-cut to get the deal through, claim the outlet, and the two clubs need to agree on a fee.
Chelsea want €25 million but the Italians want to pay less, just under €18 million. If the deal goes through, Pulisic would join Blues teammate, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who signed with Milan on Friday. The American has only one year left on his contract, so Chelsea run the risk of him leaving for free next year if they can't sell him this summer.
Pulisic joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund in January 2019, but has struggled with injuries since being in the Premier League and has fallen out of favour with the Blues. He has had more success with the US Men's National Team, most recently captaining the side to their second consecutive CONCACAF Nations League title earlier this month.
