Pulisic secures fresh start in Italy, as he completes a £17 million transfer from Chelsea to Milan

Star player of the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT), Christian Pulisic has completed a transfer worth £17 million ($22 million) from Chelsea to AC Milan.

Pulisic successfully underwent a medical examination at his new club on Wednesday and subsequently signed a four-year contract that will keep him at San Siro until 2027, with an option to extend for another season.

Joining Milan, Pulisic follows in the footsteps of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who was signed from Chelsea for £15 million ($19 million) earlier this month.

Additionally, Pulisic reunites with former Chelsea teammates Olivier Giroud and Fikayo Tomori at his new club.

Pulisic was originally signed by Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund for £58 million ($75 million) in 2019 and made 146 appearances across various competitions for the London-based club, scoring 26 goals.

However, he struggled for form and fitness with Chelsea, and spent the majority of the 2022-23 campaign on the bench as the Blues slumped to their worst-ever Premier League finish.

Pulisic has now secured a fresh start with Milan, who will be expected to fight for the Serie A title again in 2023-24.

The winger could make his debut for the Rossoneri when they kick off their pre-season tour of the United States with a clash against Real Madrid on July 23.
