Chelsea is only keeping Christian Pulisic in order to sign ‘very talented’ 19-year-old – journalist
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!According to journalist Dean Jones, there is a possibility for Chelsea to use Christian Pulisic as part of a deal to sign Rayan Cherki from Lyon. Jones suggests that Lyon’s interest in Pulisic could facilitate Chelsea’s pursuit of the French youngster this summer.
Cherki has showcased his talent on the continental stage during the U21 Euros, despite his tournament ending in the quarter-finals against Ukraine. He has attracted attention as an exciting prospect who could bolster Mauricio Pochettino’s attacking options for the upcoming season.
Jones believes that there is potential for a deal involving Pulisic, as Lyon is reportedly interested in the American player. The clubs have reportedly started discussions, and Lyon’s offer for Pulisic is said to be quite appealing. However, Pulisic is also said to prefer a move to AC Milan, although the fee offered by the Italian club falls short of Lyon’s valuation.
Pulisic has faced challenges in securing regular playing time at Chelsea in recent seasons, which could make him more likely to seek a new club. The situation presents an interesting twist in the pursuit of Cherki, with the potential for Pulisic to be included as part of the deal.
It remains to be seen how the negotiations between the clubs progress and whether a transfer involving Pulisic and Cherki will materialize.
