Christian Pulisic seals £17m transfer to Milan from Chelsea as USMNT star secures fresh start in Italy.
USMNT star Christian Pulisic has completed a £17 million ($22m) transfer to AC Milan from Chelsea.
On Wednesday, Pulisic underwent a successful medical at his new club before signing a four-year contract that will keep him at San Siro through 2027, with an option to extend for one additional season.
In addition to rejoining with former Blues teammates Olivier Giroud and Fikayo Tomori, the American men’s national team forward has followed Ruben Loftus-Cheek to Milan, who signed the English midfielder from Chelsea for £15 million ($19 million) at the beginning of the month.

In 2019, Chelsea paid £58 million ($75 million) to sign Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund. He went on to play 146 games for the West London club in all competitions, scoring 26 goals.
He had trouble staying in shape and in form while playing for Chelsea, and he spent the entirety of the 2022–23 season on the sidelines as the Blues suffered their worst–ever Premier League result.
Pulisic is currently making a new beginning with Milan, who are anticipated to compete for the Serie A championship once more in 2023–2024. The winger might make his Rossoneri debut when they play Real Madrid on July 23 to open their preseason tour of the United States.
