AC Milan will soon submit a new bid to sign Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic.

That is according to journalist Dean Jones.

Christian Pulisic, who’s entering the final year of his Chelsea contract, is strongly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in this summer transfer window.

So, where will the 24-year-old attacker be playing his football next season?

Jones has told GiveMeSport that Chelsea have made Pulisic available for transfer in this window and he’ll be sold for the right price.

It is understood that the Blues have already turned down one bid from Milan for the American winger, which was around half his £25million price tag.

He adds that the Serie A club will make a fresh offer this week in their attempts to sign Pulisic, who really wants a move to the San Siro this summer.

“Pulisic no longer fits with the Chelsea model and he is available for transfer. Lyon’s bid for him was not too far from what Chelsea have been looking for, which is around £25m, but the problem here is that Pulisic wants to join AC Milan,” Jones told GiveMeSport.

“He is very hopeful that Milan return to the table this week with a new offer that is more respectable to Chelsea than their opening bid. I’m told that will happen; a second bid is coming. This is in Milan’s hands. If they can find the money, they can sign Pulisic, but their first offer was half the price Chelsea value him at.”

Roy Keane described Pulisic as a “talented player” at last year’s World Cup, as quoted by ITV Sport.

There’s no doubting that the left-winger possesses some fantastic individual qualities, something which usually comes out whenever he represents his country.

However, his club career has come to a complete standstill in the past year in Chelsea colours.

At the age of 24, Pulisic still has plenty time left to start a new chapter in his club career elsewhere and try to live up to the potential that most see in him.
