According to ESPN via Daily Mail, Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is close to leaving Chelsea after agreeing a long-term contract with AC Milan.

The 24-year-old winger had a hugely difficult and disappointing season with Chelsea and it’s no secret that he’s set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Pulisic will reportedly take a significant pay cut to join AC Milan but the Italian side is yet to reach an agreement with Chelsea on the transfer fee.

Chelsea are reportedly holding out for $27.3million while Milan are wanting to pay no more than $19.6m. 

Pulisic has just one year left on his contract, meaning Chelsea run the risk of losing him for nothing next year should he not depart this summer.

Pulisic made the move from Borussia Dortmund to Chelsea for $72m back in January 2019.
