When Eden Hazard signed for Real Madrid in 2019, Christian Pulisic was his heir apparent at Chelsea. Unfortunately for the stars, neither of them have enjoyed their football since then.
The American winger has racked up some trophies during his time in west London, including a Champions League-winning medal. However, he has not been able to establish himself as a pillar under the tutelage of any of the Blues’ successive managers.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus remain a huge fan of Pulisic due to his talent and ability to serve in a variety of roles early on.
The source claims that the parties have already made initial contact. They are both exploring the situation as they ponder a possible summer move.
But as the report warns, the 24-year-old will not come cheap. Three years ago, Chelsea disbursed a sum of 64 million euros to acquire the services of Borussia Dortmund.
Despite the fact that the winger has not played regularly, the Premier League giants are still looking to recoup a portion of the sum paid for his services. The source believes that Chelsea now value Pulisic at around €35m.
Juve FC says
By the summer of 2023, the USMNT star will only have 12 months left on his contract. So the reported asking price feels steep for a player who hasn’t played regularly for years.
Naturally, Juventus will closely follow several other candidates and eventually decide to look for the most viable option considering the economic factor.
