Why Pulisic could leave Chelsea this summer

Following Chelsea’s exit from the Champions League, a number of players including America international Christian Pulisic have been tipped to leave the club at the end of this season.

Recall that Pulisic was left out of Chelsea’s starting squad during their Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinal loss to Real Madrid.

Chelsea’s interim manager Frank Lampard chose to keep much of the Blues’ attacking talent in reserve for the game which was played at Stamford Bridge and that included Pulisic, who could leave this summer.

While the American plays a prominent role for his country, his game time at the club level has reduced in 2022/23.

So far, Pulisic has made only eight starts in the Premier League and scored one goal, which was in October.

Following the limited game time, the 24-year-old has been linked with moves to the Italian Seria A, with one of Real Madrid and  Atlético Madrid also showing interest to sign him this summer as his contract enters its final year.
