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.

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.

USMNT star Christian Pulisic was one of the key players for Chelsea this season, as the club managed to get to No.4 in the Premier League and secure a Champions League spot. However, it turns out that the 21-year-old winger could have easily starred for another English club.

Former Manchester United scout Jorge Alvial recently revealed that United had the opportunity to bring Pulisic while he was a youngster at Borussia Dortmund.

“When I first got hired one of the people that I recommended right away was Pulisic because I knew him and his background,” said Alvial in an interview with Manchester Evening News. “I knew how well he was developing in Dortmund, and he was just going to keep coming up, and become a superstar because he was doing very well.”

Alvial, who worked for two and a half years for Premier League giants, believes Man Utd passed on Pulisic because they thought he didn’t have what it takes to play on the big stage. 

“I think United, and I’m just guessing because I don’t know the reason, but it is the same mentality of ‘this kid is an American, is he really ready to play in the big league?'” he added.

Christian Pulisic ended up proving United wrong, as he reached success in two of the toughest soccer leagues in the world. Pulisic first emerged as one of Borussia’s most important players, making 127 appearances for the club in four years and scoring 19 goals. He did all this before turning 21.

This earned Pulisic a $75 million transfer to Chelsea last summer, where he already started showing he’s worth every penny despite battling injuries. He contributed 10 goals and 10 assists in the 2019/20 season.

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.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Christian Pulisic became the youngest player to score 10 goals for the United States men’s national soccer team in Tuesday’s friendly against Chile, but that came with a hefty price. According to ESPN, Pulisic tore his muscle in the match and will be out for three to four weeks.

The 20-year-old scored the opening goal against Chile in the fourth minute of the game but was then forced to leave the pitch late in the first half. This turned out to be USMNT’s only goal as the friendly ended with a 1-1 draw.

Pulisic’s injury was confirmed by Dortmund’s coach Lucien Favre.

“Christian Pulisic sadly is injured. He will definitely not play,” – said Favre ahead of Borussia’s Bundesliga clash against Wolfsburg on Saturday.

The injuries have been the story of the season for Christian Pulisic, as he was limited to just 25 games this season. Early in the season, he tore a calf muscle and then nursed a thigh muscle in February. Pulisic managed to provide two goals and three assists in the Bundesliga this season while adding one goal in seven Champions League matches.

Following the end of 2018-19 season, Christian Pulisic will be leaving Borussia Dortmund to join Chelsea. The Premier League giants agreed to acquire Pulisic in January for a fee of $72 million but loaned him back to Borussia until next season.

Borrusia Dortmund and USMNT winger Christian Pulisic is showing people that he can do great things, but Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp thinks the U.S. shouldn’t put too much pressure on the 19-year-old.

Klopp had the chance to get a close-up display of Christian Pulisic’s talents when the young star scored two goals for Borussia Dortmund in the 3-1 win of over Liverpool in a recent friendly which took place in Charlotte. This caused Klopp to express his admiration for Pulisic’s game, but also to tell folks in the U.S. that they shouldn’t expect from him to carry the entire national team on his shoulders.

“He’s a fantastic skilled boy, and it’s not a surprise to see.” – said Klopp after the match. “He’s a smart player, and unfortunately the USA needs more of these players. He alone cannot do it all.“

“Don’t put too much pressure on the boy, hopefully, you can have a few more of them and then play very successful soccer in the future. If Belgium and Iceland can go to a World Cup then so can the USA. I think he’ll be fine,” – he added.

Christian Pulisic became a member of Borrusia Dortmund in February 2015, which was just three months before Jurgen Klopp left the club. However, Klopp hoped that he could reunite with Pulisic in Liverpool, trying to bring him to Premier League giants in the summer of 2016. Borrusia, knowing what kind of talent they had in Pulisic, rejected the offer.
