Christian Pulisic is set to play in a different role when he joins AC Milan this summer. The American is closing in on a move to Italy following weeks of discussions between Chelsea and the Rossoneri over a deal.
Having found what is almost certain to be his last season in England to be the most challenging, the 24-year-old will soon be lining up in the famous red and black of Milan alongside former Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek. He is joined by ex-Blues duo Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud as part of a growing group of Premier League players forging new paths or career extending journeys to Serie A.
With just the one club goal to show across the entirety of a dismal 2022/23 campaign for Chelsea, Pulisic now departs with a sense of unfulfilment at Stamford Bridge. The mazy dribbling speedster that arrived in 2019 from Borussia Dortmund for £58 million ($74.4m) has rarely been seen in his four years at the club.
