AC Milan in direct contact to sign Chelsea forward

AC Milan are in direct contact with Chelsea to sign Christian Pulisic, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Rossoneri are currently on the verge of selling Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United for €70 million.

They are expected to spend the sum on multiple players and it is reported that Pulisic is one of those on their radar.

The Rossoneri have an excellent relationship with the Blues, having previously signed Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud from them.

They were unsuccessful in luring Hakim Ziyech last summer, but are now prioritising a deal for wantaway Pulisic.

The USA international was determined to leave the Blues last year, but he was denied the chance to move elsewhere.

The club are now open to sanctioning his sale with his contract expiring next summer and he could leave for a cut-price fee.

The Blues could consider his exit for around €25m, but the Rossoneri could look for a further bargain in the player's pursuit.
