Chelsea could be open to selling USA captain Christian Pulisic after the World Cup and “will listen to offers” in January.
That is according to journalist Paul Brown, who claims that the Blues remain hopeful of a prosperous World Cup campaign for the American, which would help to recoup some of the £58m spent on him in 2019.
What’s the word?
The journalist understands that Chelsea have wanted rid of Pulisic for sometime, with the 24-year-old looking as though he will depart Stamford Bridge in the coming months.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Brown said: “I think it would certainly help if Pulisic has a great tournament. He’s someone that Chelsea have been willing to listen to offers for over the last few windows.
“He doesn’t seem to have a big future at the club. He hasn’t played much in the last few weeks and he didn’t play much under the previous manager either.”
Good on his day
Ultimately, Pulisic has failed to live up to the hype so far in his career, but at the age of 24, he still has ample time to dispel the doubters.
The American is the epitome of a player who is good on his day, with his threat usually felt by the opposition, even in bit-part appearances.
However, having failed to find a consistent bout of end product in SW6, scoring only 26 times in 133 gmames for the club, it looks as though the Stamford Bridge hierarchy have finally lost patience with the United States skipper.
In fairness to Pulisic, he has not started more than 19 games for Chelsea in a Premier League season, with his tally of starts diminishing with each passing campaign since 2019/20.
Pulisic is good on his day, but he doesn’t appear to be fully trusted at Chelsea, and a move elsewhere may suit both parties.
