Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic is being tracked by AC Milan and Juventus as he looks to get more game time.

The winger, 23, has struggled to secure a regular first-team place under Thomas Tuchel and featured only 22 times in the Premier League last season.

Back in 2019, he was tipped as a replacement for Eden Hazard after signing for Chelsea for £58million.

According to the Daily Mail, Milan and Juventus are interested in Pulisic but are looking to pay a cut-price fee.

Signing Pulisic would be a coup for the Italian sides, with the player having already gained much experience while still in his early 20s.

Since 2016, the American has made over 200 club appearances and has won the Champions League with the Blues.

Meanwhile, he is the captain of the USA national team and has made 49 appearances, scoring 21 goals.

Speaking on international duty, Pulisic said: ‘As far as right now, I’m obviously just focused on what I’m doing here. And I’m super excited to be here. And yeah, that’s it. 

‘Of course, I want to get more playing time. I want to be on the field as much as I can and be the sharpest I can be and fit as well.

‘I think I still got a lot of games, but it’s always something that I’m working at and trying to be regular at club level as well to put myself in the best position to be fit when I come here with the national team.’ 

Last month, Tuchel revealed he could bring in new forwards this summer to help Chelsea close the gap on rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.

But the German did not confirm whether the likes of Pulisic would make way for new arrivals.

He said: ‘Is it necessary to bring more offensive players around the box to create more distractions, to create more space for each other? We will ask that question.’
