AC Milan have finally reached an agreement with Chelsea to acquire the services of 24-year-old forward Christian Pulisic.
According to Fabrizio Romano, AC Milan have managed to sign Christian Pulisic. The deal is finally complete as both clubs have reached a common ground. The 24-year-old forward’s travel and medical have been scheduled as we head towards the official announcement of the transfer.
Pulisic has been a transfer target for Milan right from the time the season ended. The Italian giants have been in constant dialogue with Chelsea and they have finally managed to secure his services.
The €64 million American international came through the ranks at Borussia Dortmund and made quite a name for himself. He was one of the best young players in world football during his days with the German club.
His exceptional performances and huge potential attracted the attention of numerous clubs from across Europe. Finally, Chelsea managed to acquire his services in a big money move back in the winter of 2019.
While he did get off to a good start with the Blues, injuries have hampered his progress at the English club. Of late, the 24-year-old has gone down the pecking order. He might have featured in 30 matches last season but in reality, Pulisic was on the pitch for just over 1000 minutes.

Meanwhile, he was not in the plans of Mauricio Pochettino moving ahead and with his contract running out in a year’s time, the Blues were ready to negotiate his departure.
Milan have been interested in the 24-year-old for a while now. With Brahim Diaz returning back to Real Madrid, there was a big void in their attack and they believed Pulisic could help fill it. As a result, they were pushing hard for his signatures and have finally managed to acquire him.
The player had already agreed personal terms with the club as he was keen on the move. Despite interest from other clubs, Pulisic was pushing for a move to the Rossoneri and his wish has been fulfilled in a deal that is worth more than €20 million with add-ons included.
With the agreement in place, the player will now travel to Milan for his medical and post that there will be an official announcement by the clubs.
