Chelsea have reportedly held a meeting with Juventus to discuss a possible summer move for Christian Pulisic.
The USMNT is expected to leave the club this summer with the 24-year-old out of contract at the end of next season. Having failed to make an impact in the Premier League due to injuries and form, Pulisic is understood to be one of the many players up for sale.
A number of clubs have been linked with a move for the forward, including Premier League rivals Man United and Newcastle. But Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus sporting director Giovanni Manna visited London earlier this week to hold a meeting with Chelsea.
It's said the potential transfer of Pulisic was on the agenda. Juventus, like Chelsea, are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window after only qualifying for the Europa Conference League. There is also interest from Serie A winners Napoli as well as AC Milan.
football.london understands Chelsea are expected to offload 10-plus players over the course of the transfer window. Pulisic is at the top of that list after failing to impress under Frank Lampard and showing no indication of signing a new contract.

A move to Turin may present the perfect opportunity to all parties. Reports have suggested that Chelsea have offered the Old Lady the chance to pick from a list of five players as part of a player-plus-cash deal for Dusan Vlahovic.
Juve have reportedly slapped a €80million (£68million) asking price for the Serbian striker, but Todd Boehly would prefer lowering the fee with a player included.
The report also states that Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah were discussed during the meeting on Tuesday, two players who have reportedly been made available for a possible swap deal.
