Christian Pulisic has stated that he is unaware of any transfer speculation surrounding him this summer, as he seems likely to leave Chelsea.
Pulisic is expected to be among several first-team players departing the club despite having limited playing time under three different managers this season. With just over a year left on his contract and no new terms offered, his future at Chelsea is uncertain.
This season has been his least productive, with only one goal in 30 appearances, mostly as a substitute. The team’s significant decline coincided with his lackluster performance, and now there is interest in the American winger from various European clubs.
Napoli, AC Milan, and Juventus are interested in signing the attacker, but they face challenges in meeting his high wages and negotiating a fee with the Blues.

Chelsea initially paid £55 million ($68.3 million) for his transfer in 2019, but they are not demanding a significant profit from his sale. It is possible that he could be available for as little as £20 million ($24.8 million) in the upcoming transfer window.
Despite the ongoing speculation, Pulisic remains unfazed by the surrounding noise. He revealed that he has no idea about the ongoing transfer rumors. As reported by Football London, the 24-year-old said:
“I don’t keep any social media on my phone anymore so I probably don’t see as much as you guys think I do. I don’t know what’s going on.”
“People will text me sometimes and be like, ‘you’re going here?’ And I’ll be like, ‘I didn’t even know that.’ So, they know more than me most of the time.”
Pulisic is getting ready to participate in crucial matches for the USA national team, as they aim to secure victory in the CONCACAF Nations League and defend their title.
The team’s upcoming schedule includes a match against Mexico, followed by a potential final or third-placed match against Panama or Canada.
