Pulisic’s arrival at the Stamford Bridge in 2019 was met with great anticipation. Known for his speed and versatility, he was expected to be a key player in Chelsea’s attacking lineup. However, injuries and intense competition for places following a busy transfer season for Chelsea under new owner Todd Boehly limited his opportunities, resulting in a stop-start journey.
Despite some glimpses of brilliant performances, Pulisic struggled to establish himself as a consistent starter. Managerial changes and the arrival of other high-profile signings further complicated the situation for him, making it difficult for him to find his rhythm and showcase his true potential.

AC Milan’s interest in Pulisic comes as a ray of hope for the young American. Serie A has a long-standing reputation for rejuvenating players’ careers by giving them a second chance as in case of Romelu Lukaku . A move to the Italian league could offer Pulisic the stability, game time, and motivation necessary to reignite his career and fulfill his immense potential.
AC Milan has been rebuilding their squad after a slightly underwhelming year finishing 4th in the Serie A. Pulisic’s arrival would not only bolster their attacking options but also inject a new sense of creativity into the team. His pace, dribbling skills, and eye for a creative pass could make him a valuable asset in their quest for success.

The USMNT Connection:
Pulisic’s potential move to AC Milan would also benefit the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT). Playing in a highly competitive league like Serie A, surrounded by top-quality players, would undoubtedly enhance his skills and add valuable experience to his international career. The USMNT has been making great progress having the likes of players like Gio Reina, Tim Weah and Sergino Dest in recent years, and Pulisic’s presence in Serie A would further elevate the team’s profile on the global stage.
