American international Christian Pulisic is looking increasingly likely to end his unsatisfactory stay at Stamford Bridge. Interested parties in signing the Chelsea winger include Serie A big-hitters Napoli and Juventus.The 24-year-old USA star is one of several players the West London club is looking to offload this year before his contract expires. Besides, the player himself is desperate to play more frequently – something he probably wouldn’t get a chance for the English team. He has made just eight league starts for the Blues this season. He has scored one goal.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Napoli will consider signing the former Borussia Dortmund attacker as he will come cheap with the player entering the final year of his contract. Juventus, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid have also been linked with Pulisic, but Napoli are leading the race.Chelsea are expected to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s permanent manager this week. One of the Argentine’s tasks will be to trim a bloated squad that has endured a disastrous season. The Blues are currently 11th in the Premier League table despite huge investment in the squad under owner Todd Boehly.##NAJAVA_MECA_7244857##Napoli’s interest could increase intrigue because Chelsea wants their star striker Victor Osimhen.

Still, between Chelsea and Manchester United, there is a strong belief that a bid of around $160 million would get Napoli’s president Aurelio De Laurentiis to buckle down and let the African goal-getter leave.Napoli and Juventus have expressed interest in signing USMNT & Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic.Which would be the next best destination for Captain America? 🤔(Via DailyMail) #christianpulisic #usmnt #ussoccer #juventus #napoli #chelsea pic.twitter.com/HlCDsi10N6— US Soccer Plus (@ussoccerplus_) May 9, 2023 That sum is too high for Bayern Munich, who are concentrating on Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt. It would also present a problem for Chelsea, with the Financial Fair Play rules working against their uncontrolled spending. Things might change – but only if they find someone willing to pay big bucks to take Romelu Lukaku off them when the big Belgian returns from his loan spell at Inter. There are indications that those two clubs could arrange a swap deal involving Lukaku and Osimhen, but it doesn’t seem very likely at this point.
