The Rossoneri have got their man. Check out the details behind the US international’s move to the 19-time Serie A champions.
In a summer that will feature the US Women’s National Team pushing for an unprecedented third consecutive World Cup title, the face of their men’s counterpart made some major news of his own.
After it became clear that his days in the Premier League at Chelsea were over, 19-time Serie A champions AC Milan capped off the first week of July with a reported €20 million move for Christian Pulisic. The USMNT attacking man and Hershey, Pennsylvania native was part of teams that won the UEFA Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup titles in 2021.
Fans of the the Stars and Stripes and London’s Blues alike are liable to look at Pulisic’s run in England as an ultimately disappointing one given how much rip-roaring promise he showed in Germany at Borussia Dortmund, generating the highest transfer fee ever paid to date by a Premier League club for an American player.
All’s well that ends well, however, and there are far worse things in life than moving onto one of continental Europe’s most popular, storied teams while entering one’s true athletic prime at the ripe age of 24.
As this Pulisic AC Milan transfer deal goes final pending a customary medical evaluation, let’s look deeper into the details.
