AC Milan agreed to sign Christian Pulisic from Chelsea for £20m.
AC Milan is delighted to announce that they have agreed to sign USA forward Christian Pulisic from Chelsea for a reported fee of £20m.
Pulisic, 24, who joined Chelsea in a £57.6 million ($74.3m) transfer from Borussia Dortmund in January 2019, has been told he has no future at Stamford Bridge by new manager Mauricio Pochettino after suffering a number of injuries during his past two seasons at the club.
USA international, Christian Pulisic scored 26 goals in 145 appearances for the club since arriving from Dortmund four years ago.
Premier League rivals Manchester United, Newcastle United and Arsenal all declined the chance to sign Pulisic this summer, having been approached about his availability in recent months.
Christian Pulisic has been linked with a move away from Chelsea since the start of this summer transfer window. The Serie A club AC Milan and the Ligue 1 club Lyon have shown interest in him.
In their first bid, AC Milan offered a £12 million bid to Chelsea. However, that was eclipsed by Lyon’s bid which was £21 million. Chelsea are asking for at least an amount over £17 million knowing that AC Milan can actually spend that amount on Pulisic.
Once completed, Pulisic will join Chelsea teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek at Milan and become the 14th senior player to leave Stamford Bridge since the end of last season.
