Christian Pulisic is set to join AC Milan. Chelsea can thank OL, whose offer provoked a huge financial effort from the Italian club. Which was not originally planned.
In the great battle of the transfer window, Olympique Lyonnais has decided to activate. Recruitment is underway while the Rhone club is nevertheless closely watched by the DNCG. Better than that, John Textor obviously has ideas behind his head and he tried to recruit Christian Pulisic, who is part of the huge cart of departures at Chelsea. The London club are constantly selling players in their bloated squad and the American winger should be one of the next. OL offered 25 million euros to Chelsea to recover a player who obviously pleases his American owner. But it didn’t go much further, and not because of financial restrictions. Indeed, the former Borussia Dortmund only dreamed of AC Milan, which was already in discussions to bring him in this summer. But the Milan proposal was almost half that of OL, making negotiations complicated.

As a result, the Lombard club was forced to make a big financial effort to finalize this deal which is in the process of being put in place. The American media CBS announces that the two parties have come very close in recent hours, since the Italian club’s latest offer is now 23 million with bonuses, almost 8 million euros more than the first. The formalization is not yet in place, but Pulisic has already agreed to his future contract with AC Milan, for a salary of 4 million euros per year until 2027. An epilogue about to be successful for Chelsea, who can thank OL for having raised the stakes, even if the Rhone club never really seemed in the process of signing Pulisic, who immediately gave his preference to Italy and the possibility of discussing the Champions League next season.
