Christian Pulisic is likely to stay at Chelsea through the transfer window, despite previous reports of a possible move for the United States men’s national team star earlier in the summer, according to The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio.
Pulisic, who signed with Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in 2019, had reportedly grown frustrated with his lack of playing time in recent months under manager Thomas Tuchel and wanted more time on the pitch ahead of the ’22 World Cup in Qatar, according to a report earlier this month from Andy Mitten of The Athletic. The club was made aware of Pulisic’s frustrations and was willing to listen to loan offers, with the understanding that Manchester United was the 23-year-old’s preferred destination, according to Mitten.
Although Chelsea received interest from Manchester United, Newcastle United and a handful of other Champions League clubs in Italy and Spain, the club ultimately decided to keep the American in West London.
