Christian Pulisic speaks out on Chelsea exit as he arrives in Milan to complete £20m transfer

Marc Mayo12 July 2023

Christian Pulisic has touched down in Italy ahead of completing his transfer to AC Milan from Chelsea.

The San Siro club are set to pay £20million for the American winger after fighting off a rival bid from Lyon to land his signature, with some of that fee to come as add-ons.

With just one year left on his Chelsea contract, Pulisic had made clear behind the scenes that he wanted the move to Milan despite Lyon initially making an improved offer to the Blues.

On Wednesday morning, he filmed a short video having touched down at the city’s Malpensa Airport.

“Hi AC Milan supporters, I’ve just arrived in Milan,” he said.

“So excited to be here and can’t wait to get started.”

Pulisic, 24, is set to travel straight to Milan’s training ground for a medical before signing a long-term contract with the Serie A side.

The deal will be just the latest of a plethora of Chelsea sales this summer, with Romelu Lukaku also tipped to head to Milan while negotiations continue with Inter over a £40m move.
