Chelsea swallows million-dollar loss on American international Pulisic

Indeed, according to several Italian media, the wealthy Chelsea has accepted the offer of AC Milan, which would like to pay a base amount of twenty million euros. Due to bonuses, that amount could rise to a maximum of 22 million euros; representing a drop in value of no less than 42 million.

Pulisic himself is now said to be in talks with the Italian superpower over a contract with an as-yet undetermined term. On Wednesday, the striker was due to arrive in Milan to iron out the final creases, including the medical examination. Afterwards, he will join his new teammates and coach Stefano Pioli to start preparing for the new season.

After Marco Sportiello (Atalanta), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea) and Luka Romero (SS Lazio), Pulisic becomes the fourth addition Pioli will welcome this summer. This is offset by the departure of Sandro Tonali (Newcastle United) and the sacking of Zlatan Ibrahimovic (quit), among others. In the search for a successor to Tonali, Milan is reportedly still busy trying to pry Tijjani Reijnders loose from AZ.
