Chelsea are set to let Christian Pulisic leave this summer if they receive acceptable offers, according to reports. It comes after a season of struggle for the USMNT international.
The 23-year-old would often start from the bench, making 22 Premier League appearances with six goals and two assists. This led to Pulisic questioning his playing time under Thomas Tuchel.
"Of course, I want to get more playing time,” He said during the international break. “I want to be on the field as much as I can and be the sharpest I can be and fit as well. And I think I still got a lot of games, but it's always something that I'm working at and trying to be regular at club level as well to put myself in the best position to be fit when I come here with the national team."

There has been plenty of speculation surrounding his future at the club, with the Guardian reporting that the Blues are willing to listen to offers for Pulisic this summer as part of a summer overhaul in the attacking department. Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move for the forward, with Jurgen Klopp said to be an admirer.
Whether that deal happens may depend on how the Reds operate in the transfer market themselves and it appears they are about to secure their first signing. Multiple reports state that the club have made a bid for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.
The 22-year-old has impressed for the club in the previous season, scoring 26 league goals in 28 appearances. He also featured against Liverpool in the Champions League, a competition he scored six goals in.
Whether that move impacts the decisions surrounding Pulisic remains to be seen, however, Thomas Tuchel’s forward overhaul may depend on some outgoings before some arrivals.
