Christian Pulisic opens door to Chelsea exit as Juventus target summer transfer

Christian Pulisic opens door to Chelsea exit as Juventus target summer transfer

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic will assess his future this summer after admitting that last season took its toll.

Pulisic played just 812 minutes of Premier League football as the Blues slumped to a 12th-place finish in 2022-23 - their lowest since 1994.

The 24-year-old, who has now joined up with the USA squad ahead of this summer’s Gold Cup, has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Juventus are one of the clubs interested in Pulisic and he will consider his options as Mauricio Pochettino prepares to take charge of Chelsea.

“It’s been a tough season for me personally and for our team at club level,” Pulisic said.

“I thought it was a great couple years and the last couple years just haven’t gone at all how I’ve planned them to be.

“And right now my focus is obviously here with the national team. I’m just excited to get back playing and just enjoy myself and do what I love to do out on the field.

“And from there, this summer, we're obviously going to have to see what happens.

“It’s obviously very early. As of right now I’m a Chelsea player and I plan to go back. But a lot of things can happen. A lot of things can change.”
