Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic would reportedly gladly agree to join AC Milan.

According to Gazetta dello Sport, Pulisic would “gladly accept” a transfer to the San Siro if the opportunity arose. 

It is understood that Milan do admire the 24-year-old Blues attacker, who’s someone that’s been on their radar in recent months.

The £150,000-a-week United States international has started just one Premier League game so far this season after falling out of favour, but perhaps he can reignite some form now Graham Potter is Chelsea’s new head coach in the dugout.

Pulisic would gladly join AC Milan

Italian giants Milan, who won the Serie A league crown last season, have enjoyed some recent joy in signing players from Stamford Bridge.

Both Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud have enjoyed massive success since leaving Chelsea for AC Milan.

For Pulisic, you can understand why he may want a fresh transfer given the way his 2022 has gone in West London.

The quick winger has produced some superb individual moments during 123 Chelsea appearances, but it feels like a few years into his career at the Bridge everything has gone a bit stale.

Potter’s arrival mid-season could be the turning point, though. In fact, Pulisic said this week he’s excited for his “fresh start” under the new club boss.

Serie A interest

As well as these new Milan rumours, another Serie A giant has been linked this month with Pulisic.

Calciomeracto have reported that Juventus have been in discussions with the Chelsea attacker’s agent about a potential transfer to Turin.

It goes to show Pulisic is still highly thought of despite the dip in his Blues career.
