Chelsea and AC Milan are set to engage in conclusive negotiations today, Friday, regarding a potential swap deal involving Christian Pulisic, according to News About Nigeria.
The two clubs have been in contact over the past few days, exploring the possibility of a move for the talented American soccer star.
Pulisic, eager to embark on a new adventure, has expressed his desire to join the Italian club following a disappointing 2022/23 season, plagued by injury concerns that hindered his performance.
The 24-year-old personally approached Chelsea, expressing his interest in seeking a fresh start elsewhere after multiple failed negotiations for his departure in 2022.
Encouragingly, AC Milan appears to be growing more confident about obtaining the green light from Chelsea today, following their submission of a €22 million bid earlier this week.
The specific terms of the deal, including the contract duration, will be among the topics discussed when the representatives of both clubs convene later today.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is currently undergoing a restructuring phase, aiming to trim their bloated squad that produced underwhelming results in the previous campaign, despite branding themselves as the ‘Pride of London.’
Finishing a disappointing 12th in the Premier League, the Blues have already offloaded a considerable number of players and are actively seeking to secure further departures. The futures of Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the club appear uncertain, with Inter Milan showing interest in the Belgian striker, while Saudi-based clubs have expressed the desire for Aubameyang’s services.
Simultaneously, the West London club has been proactive in securing replacements for the departed players and is currently pursuing the signature of Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
As the talks between Chelsea and AC Milan reach their final stages, fans eagerly await the outcome of these discussions, which could potentially see Christian Pulisic donning the famous red and black stripes of the Italian giants.
