Chelsea: Christian Pulisic Chase Intensifies Amid Rumored Juventus Interest

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is being eyed by multiple Italian powerhouses to boost their squad.

The 24-year-old has a huge chance of leaving Stamford Bridge this summer, with a permanent move being a priority.

The winger played inconsistently following a turbulent season for Chelsea, which underwent four managers during the year. The West London-based squad suffered their worst finish in nearly three decades, ending the season in 12th place after finishing third last year and winning the Champions League two years ago.

Juventus have reportedly started discussions with the biggest American soccer star today. Serie A champions Napoli and AC Milan are also said to be interested.

The Turin-based squad ended the season 7th in the league in 2022-23, their lowest finish in more than a decade since they were in the same spot in 2010-11.

Juventus are set to miss Champions League football next season, which is a huge hit to their finances. However, they hope to get around $87 million for Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic or execute a player-plus-cash deal with Chelsea to acquire Pulisic.
