Pulisic’s journey in West London during the 2022-23 season was marked by turbulence, as Chelsea underwent a managerial shuffle, with four different coaches at the helm. Consequently, the talented American found it challenging to secure consistent playing time, leaving him open to exploring new opportunities.
AC Milan, anticipating a substantial windfall from the imminent departure of star midfielder Sandro Tonali to Newcastle, is eager to reinforce their attacking options. Pulisic’s teammate, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, recently made a switch to the Milanese club for £18.5 million, raising Chelsea’s hopes for a higher transfer fee for the American winger.

However, the competition for Pulisic’s signature extends beyond domestic rivals, with clubs across Europe’s top-flight expressing interest. Juventus and Napoli have closely monitored the 24-year-old, with the former showing an increasing desire to secure his services. Additionally, Crystal Palace from the Premier League and Ligue 1 side Lyon have earmarked Pulisic as a potential target, highlighting his broad appeal.
While Pulisic’s domestic season may have been frustrating, his star continues to rise on the international stage. He displayed his prowess while representing the United States in the post-season, scoring a brace against Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League semi-final and then captaining the team to victory over Canada, securing their second consecutive title. Pulisic is set to lead the USMNT as they kick off their CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign against Saint Kitts and Nevis.

If Pulisic decides to part ways with Stamford Bridge after four years in the English capital, he is unlikely to be the only player making such a move during the transfer window. With previous lavish spending, Chelsea is now focused on reducing the squad size to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations and enhance their recruitment capabilities in the summer market.
