TOP STORY: Juve make contact with Pulisic’s camp
After months of enquiries, Calciomercato have reported that Juventus have made initial contact regarding a possible move for Chelsea and United States men’s national team winger Christian Pulisic.
I Bianconeri have been looking at the 24-year-old for some time, but it is in recent months that their interest has gained momentum.
The report states that Juventus are keen on Pulisic’s versatility, as he has played multiple positions — from winger to wingback to a false nine — at Chelsea.
With this in mind, Juventus have made their first contact with Pulisic’s agent in order to gauge whether the American would be interested taking on a new challenge.
Pulisic has only managed one start — which lasted an hour — in Chelsea’s eight matches this season, managing no more than 26 minutes in any of his substitute appearances.
Despite this lack of game time, the Blues have no intentions of letting the former Borussia Dortmund winger leave for a low transfer fee. Chelsea could demand €35 million for Pulisic’s transfer, which Juventus have taken note of.
Pulisic didn’t play in the USMNT’s 2-0 defeat against Japan last week due to a slight knock but is expected to start in their final World Cup warm-up game against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
