AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Christian Pulisic from Chelsea during the summer transfer window. According to Relevo, the Italian club are progressing in negotiations for the American attacker.
Pulisic is one of the players Chelsea are looking to offload, and Milan seems to be a potential destination for him. The 22-year-old joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in 2019 for a fee of €63 million but has struggled to make a mark at the club.
Pulisic’s progress at Stamford Bridge has been hampered by a series of injuries, which have made it challenging for him to establish consistency.
Throughout this season, he was only able to start in eight Premier League matches, contributing one goal and one assist. He appeared in a total of 30 games across all competitions, predominantly coming off the bench.
Considering these circumstances, the 24-year-old forward is now seeking a new club to showcase his abilities. Chelsea are open to selling him, particularly as he has just one year remaining on his current five-year contract.

According to reports, Pulisic has already reached a personal agreement with AC Milan. The next step for Milan would be to negotiate a transfer fee with the Blues.
Chelsea are reportedly seeking a transfer fee of over €20 million, but Milan will attempt to bring the figure down to around €15 million. The two clubs have a strong relationship, as evidenced by the recent transfers of Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Meanwhile, Milan are actively pursuing the signing of Yunus Musah from Valencia. Musah, along with Loftus-Cheek, is expected to replace Sandro Tonali, who has joined Newcastle United.
Additionally, the Italian giants are engaged in negotiations with Villarreal for Samuel Chukwueze and is in talks for AZ Alkmaar’s Tijjani Reijnders.
