U.S. star forward Christian Pulisic will be on the move at the end of the 2022-23 season. According to reports from English media, Chelsea is looking to sell Pulisic as part of the summer rebuild, with Seria A teams Napoli and Juventus emerging as potential suitors for the 24-year-old American.

While Chelsea is still high on Pulisic, the Premier League side is willing to let him go due to his contract status. The player will have just one year left on his deal after the season ends, and the club doesn’t want to risk losing him for nothing in 2024.

Pulisic himself is believed to be open to the move as he looks to get more playing time. He made just 21 appearances in Premier League this season, including eight starts, and only managed to score once.

Both Napoli and Juventus believe they can help Pulisic get his career back on track and have him play a key role. Napoli is looking for a backup plan if star striker Victor Osimhen ends up leaving the club, while Juventus wants to build a squad that could help them reclaim the status as one of the top clubs in Italy.

Christian Pulisic joined Chelsea in 2019 from Borussia Dortmund in a transfer worth £58 million. While he had some spectacular performances in London, this was overshadowed by frequent injuries that limited him to just 142 games in four seasons.

ESPN reported on Wednesday that Manchester United has inquired about the availability of Chelsea and US Men’s National Team player Christian Pulisic. The Red Devils are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing the player on a loan deal.

Although he still has two years left on his contract, Pulisic has reportedly grown frustrated at his lack of game time for the Blues. The midfielder played for just 30 minutes across Chelsea’s first two Premier League games, coming on as a substitute in both matches. Pulisic struggled with injury last season, starting in only 13 Premier League games.

Man Utd’s interest in Pulisic comes as the club scrambles to sign new talents before the close of the transfer window in a couple of weeks. Furthermore, the Red Devils appear desperate to turn their fortunes around after losing their first two Premier League games; the team’s worst-ever start to a Premier League season.

Juventus and Atletico Madrid have also expressed an interest in the player, with Newcastle United also believed to be monitoring the situation.

Chelsea’s willingness to let go of Pulisic may rest on the club’s ability to land a replacement. The Blues currently have their sights set on Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Everton midfielder Anthony Gordon.

USMNT star Christian Pulisic could be on the move in the near future, according to a recent report from El Nacional. According to the Spanish media outlet, both Liverpool and Barcelona are monitoring Pulisic, while his club Chelsea wouldn’t mind letting the American go if the right offer comes in.

Chelsea is believed to be keen on sending Pulisic to Spain in order to avoid reinforcing their rival, but Barca might not have the necessary funds to pull off a deal at the moment. The Catalan club is in a rough financial situation and is more open to free transfer and loan deals and Chelsea wants at least $50 million for the player.

Liverpool, on the other hand, is interested in Pulisic due to his connection with manager Jurgen Kopp. The duo successfully worked together at Borussia Dortmund, and Klopp would like to reunite with the player he still holds in high regard. He reportedly tried to recruit the 23-year-old in 2019, but Chelsea beat him to the punch.

Despite being poised to be one of Chelsea’s big stars when he joined the club, Christian Pulisic never really found his footing at Stamford Bridge. Injuries played a big part in this, with Pulisic being limited to 83 games in two and a half seasons with the Premier League powerhouse.

Availability has been an issue for Pulisic in 2021-22 as well, but there are signs he is returning to form in the past couple of weeks. He notably came in as a sub against Leicester City over the weekend and scored a goal in a 3:0 win while being handed a start in a 4:0 win against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League clash on Tuesday.

Christian Pulisic helped USMNT to remain unbeaten at the start of World Cup qualifiers, but that came at a price. According to Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, the 22-year-old forward returned to the club “on crutches” and will be forced to miss several upcoming games as a result.

Pulisic got hurt during USMNT’s 4-1 dismantling of Honduras on Wednesday. He exited the game early in the second half and was visibly limping while heading to the sidelines.

Tuchel revealed during Friday’s press conference that Pulisic is dealing with an ankle injury and will be out for “about 10 days.”

The timeline means Pulisic should miss the Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Saturday, the UEFA Champions League group match against Zenit, and the London derby against Tottenham next week. His first game back could be the EFL Cup game against Aston Villa on September 22nd.

The injuries have been a recurring story for Christian Pulisic since he arrived at Chelsea in 2019. Various issues with hamstring and ankles kept Pulisic from making an impact in England and showcasing the talent that prompted the club to pay an $80 million transfer fee for his services.

Pulisic played a total of 79 games for Chelsea and scored 18 goals with 14 assists. He has one goal in two matches in 2021-22 so far.

United States star winger Christian Pulisic finally managed to end his goalscoring drought for Chelsea, netting in a 2-5 loss to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. This was his first goal under new manager Thomas Tuchel and also first since early December.

Pulisic actually opened the scoring, getting Chelsea in the lead in the 27th minute. After a free kick from left-back Marcos Alonso hit the post, the 22-year-old American collected the deflection and delivered a calm finish.

Unfortunately for Chelsea, things went downhill from there. Less than a minute later, Brazilian center-back Thiago Silva made a reckless tackle and earned himself a red card, leaving his team with 10 players. WBA used the opportunity and immediately struck back, scoring two before halftime.

Pulisic couldn’t help Chelsea found its way back, as he had to leave early as well because of an injury. He was substituted before the start of the second half after complaining about his hamstring.

The 2-1 lead obviously wasn’t enough for WBA, as they continued to attack and scored three more. Chelsea, on the other hand, didn’t do much and managed to add just one more thanks to Mason Mount.

Speaking with reporters after the game, Tuchel detailed the decision to substitute Pulisic.

“Christian did a sprint when he came back out for the second half and said that he felt his hamstring would not survive the game if he continued,” said Tuchel. “So we had to make the decision to substitute him straight away.”

While Premier League giants didn’t detail the full extent of Pulisic’s injury, he will reportedly be out for at least a week and is set to miss the upcoming Champions League clash against FC Porto.

Christian Pulisic has been dealing with injuries often since arriving at Chelsea in 2019, and it has been the same story this season. He was out for several weeks on multiple occasions, which caused him to have a hard time breaking into the starting lineup or playing extended minutes.

Pulisic played 29 games in 2020-21 in all competitions but clocked only 1.567 minutes on the field. He scored three goals and has two assists.

United States’ star Christian Pulisic is facing another spell on the sidelines. Pulisic is currently dealing with a hamstring injury and could be out for “weeks,” according to Chelsea manager Frank Lampard.

Pulisic got hurt on Saturday during warmups for the Premier League match against Burnley. The 22-year-old winger ended up missing the game, but despite his absence, Chelsea managed to get a convincing 3-0 win.

Speaking about Pulisic’s injury on Monday, Lampard said that the club is bracing for the scenario in which they won’t be able to count on one of their best players.

“He’s played three games, we’ve tried to manage him in the week, and it’s a small feeling in his hamstring so we’ll have to see how he is over the next 24 hours,” Lampard explained. “It’s a minor feeling that he had but definitely not right to go into 90 minutes of a game with that. Hopefully, it’s short term, we’re talking weeks.”

If Cristian Pulisic ends up missing multiple weeks, that could rule him out of the matches against Rennes in UEFA Champions League and Premier League duels with Sheffield United and Newcastle United.

Pulisic experienced hamstring issues at the start of the season as well, missing five games in Premier League and EFL Cup. He played five games in 2020/21 in all competitions and currently has one goal to show for.

The United States’ men’s national team’s biggest star got exciting news on Wednesday, learning that he will wear the celebrated #10 jersey for Chelsea FC this season.

Pulisic joined Chelsea last summer for a $76 million fee from Borussia Dortmund, making him the most expensive American signing in soccer history.

His first season in London at the age of 21 went well, as the winger scored 9 goals and recorded 6 assists in just 25 Premier League appearances. Pulisic established himself as one of the top young stars in Europe, turning heads as he rocketed past defenders to make his mark on England.

He was a key part of the successful first season for Frank Lampard as Chelsea’s coach, helping the team to a fourth-place Premier League finish and Champions League qualification.

Following the summer departure of Willian, who moved from Chelsea to Arsenal, Pulisic was chosen to take on the #10 shirt and will be expected to be one of Chelsea’s key players in their Premier League and Champions League campaigns.

Pulisic will make his debut for Chelsea with the #10 shirt this weekend as his team opens their Premier League campaign on the road at Brighton & Hove Albion.

USMNT and Chelsea star winger Christian Pulisic won’t return to the field just yet. Pulisic, who has been out since late December with leg muscle issues, has suffered an injury setback and will have his status re-evaluated following the winter break in Premier League.

The news was revealed to the reporters by Chelsea’s manager Frank Lampard. According to Lampard, the plan was to have Pulisic ready by the last week, but things didn’t work out in his favor.

“We tried to get him out there last week, step it up a little bit, but we had to pull out of that,” said Lampard. “The break might have come at a good time, it buys us a couple of weeks.”

Lampard also reiterated that the team misses Pulisic on the pitch, as he was in the middle of a great run before the injury.

“Of course, you miss him. He’s a quality player and he was having a really good patch pre-Christmas. Others have to stand up too, but of course we’ll be happy when he’s back,” he added.

Christian Pulisic made 16 appearances in Premier League in 2019/20, scoring six goals and adding two assists. He also scored one goal in four games in UEFA Champions League.

Due to injuries, Pulisic wasn’t a part of USMNT’s teams in recent months, having made his last feature in CONCACAF Nations League in early October.

USMNT star winger Christian Pulisic isn’t enjoying the best start of his stint with Premier League powerhouse Chelsea. Pulisic hasn’t been playing much since arriving to London and was an unused substitute in the previous three games. However, things might change soon according to the club’s manager Frank Lampard.

Following the 2-1 loss to Liverpool over the weekend, Lampard was asked whether his choice not to feature Pulisic was due to injuries Chelsea suffered during the game or something else.

“He wasn’t a victim of the injuries. I’ve got a squad to pick from. Before that, he had played a few games,” – Lampard explained. “Willian has come back in and been sharp and looked good. I decided to go with Mason [Mount], because we needed to stay strong in midfield and play Mason high up the pitch. That is my choice to make.”

But Lampard then assured everyone that Pulisic will get an opportunity to show what he’s capable of.

“He will get ample opportunities.” – he added. “He is a young player as well as everyone is talking about Mason and Tammy and Fikayo. He is actually as young, if not younger, than some of them. His chances will come.”

Christian Pulisic joined Chelsea this summer, but the transfer was agreed back in January when Maurizio Sarri was still the club’s manager.  While Pulisic was expected to play a prominent role on the team, Lampard obviously hasn’t been impressed with the American star as Sarri.

Pulisic played four games in Premier League so far and managed to provide one assist.

The United States international Christian Pulisic is on the move. The 20-year-old USMNT and Borussia Dortmund star was just picked up by Premier League giants Chelsea, who paid around $72.5 million for his services. Pulisic won’t head to London right away, however, and will remain with Dortmund until the end of 2018-19 Bundesliga season as part of the deal.

The move was confirmed by both sides on their official social media.

“We are delighted to have signed one of Europe’s most sought-after young players,” – said Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia. “Christian has shown his quality during a fantastic spell in Germany, and at just 20, we believe he has the potential to become an important Chelsea player for many years to come. We look forward to welcoming him to Stamford Bridge in the summer and wish him and Dortmund every success for the remainder of the season.”

According to ESPN FC, Chelsea was interested in Christian Pulisic for some time now and made several bids that were rejected by Borussia. However, after the player said he isn’t keen on signing a contract extension with the club, Dortmund had to start considering offers for him. Manchester United, Liverpool and Bayern Munich were all interested, but Chelsea ended up winning the battle for the talented winger.

“In summer of 2019, I move on to Chelsea and to a new competition, the English Premier League,” – said Pulisic in a statement. “It’s a privilege to have signed for such a legendary club and I look forward to working hard towards being a contributor to their team of world class players.”

During his time with Borussia Dortmund, Christian Pulisic made 115 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring 15 goals and providing 24 assists.
