Pulisic, Textor's first gift to OL

In order to strengthen Olympique Lyonnais’ attack, Olympique Lyonnais are currently negotiating with Chelsea with the aim of obtaining the signing of Christian Pulisic, the American international striker from Chelsea.

OL are being rather discreet at the start of the transfer window, and perhaps even a little too much for their supporters. While Lyon is preparing its passage before the National Management Control Department (DNCG), and John Textor will probably have to sell Castello Lukeba to Leipzig to plug the financial hole, the new owner of Olympique Lyonnais has an idea in mind. The French sports daily affirms this Saturday evening that the Rhone leaders began to discuss with Christian Pulisic, the American striker of Chelsea. Aged 24, the striker revealed in the Dortmund jersey still has a year of contract with the Blues, where we no longer really count on him. So, on the Stamford Bridge side, we are open to negotiations with OL

Hugo Guillemet specifies that Chelsea are asking for 20 million euros to sell Christian Pulisic at the start of his last year of contract. Bought 3 times more at BVB, the international striker will not say no, being tired of polishing the bench of the London club. ” Ihe owners of OL have a clear idea: three years from the 2026 World Cup to be held in their country, they want to attract the man nicknamed Captain America to their fold. “Explains the journalist from L’Equipe, who adds that in the Pulisic case the competition is fierce.

Because Olympique Lyonnais is obviously not the only club to smell a possible good deal. Naples, Juventus and AC Milan would have entered the dance, with for them the advantage of playing a European cup, which will not be the case for OL. Another hypothesis is that Christian Pulisic remains in England and signs for Crystal Palace, a club Textor knows well. In the meantime, by talking with such a player, Lyon still sends a positive signal, the transfer window will not be in degraded mode.
