Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Christian Pulisic is now really keen on a move away from Chelsea this summer.

He took to Twitter to state that the Blues are in negotiations with AC Milan over a potential deal to see him leave the club this summer.

It seems as if Pulisic’s time at Stamford Bridge is set to come to an end. It probably won’t go down as a particularly positive one on a personal basis following his £50m move.

Last season especially saw his minutes severely limited, with a combination of injuries and competition in the squad seeing him spend a lot of time on the sidelines.

January in particular was a dire month for the American, with his time on the pitch coming to a halt after injury against Manchester City.

Pulisic keen on move away

By the time he returned to the squad, there were two fresh faces looking to provide competition out wide. Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk had joined the club and had made their debuts.

With the expectation being that the duo become long-term starters at Stamford Bridge, the likes of Pulisic are being left looking elsewhere.

Romano has claimed he is now keen on a move to AC Milan if a fee can be agreed between the two sides.

He said: “AC Milan are negotiating with Chelsea for Christian Pulisic after Loftus Cheek deal agreed. Two separated deals and negotiations.

“Milan insisting to pay less than €25m asking price, player keen on the move but no agreement between clubs yet.”

The American is likely to continue the steady flow of players leaving West London this summer, in order to bring down the bloated squad size for new manager Mauricio Pochettino to deal with.
