Christian Pulisic set to complete transfer to AC Milan today
Pennsylvania native Pulisic will commit his future to the San Siro outfit until June 2027 with an official announcement confirming the $24m transfer set to be made by the club’s official social media profiles later today.
And according to a report in The Athletic today, Pulisic’s wariness of being presented as ‘Captain America’ for the USMNT added to his general reluctance to engage in the media and marketing duties for Chelsea has long frustrated Blues officials, as well as American owner Todd Boehly, even though last year marked the first opportunity for the club to tour the US with Pulisic.
Pulisic is believed to be excited to start a new chapter in his career after an overall disappointing four-year spell in West London.
