Christian Pulisic, a winger for Chelsea, has attracted attention from a number of clubs, and Liverpool is said to be one of them
According to 90min, Liverpool has a good chance of signing Christian Pulisic, who will eventually depart Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp worked with the 24-year-old before at Borussia Dortmund, and the coach may look at reuniting with him next month.
Since coming to West London in 2019, Pulisic has been denied the playing time he deserves, so this might be his greatest chance for a turnaround in his disappointing Chelsea stint.
With his goal-scoring prowess on full display at the World Cup, the kid is sure to draw the attention of other clubs, placing Liverpool in a precarious position.
The Blues are reluctant to reinforce a direct top-four competitor and would want to transfer the player outside of England, while the Reds are considering a loan move for the USMNT international.
Liverpool can afford to pay his astronomical salary, which must be taken into consideration. Possible clubs include Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, although none of them can afford to pay the player’s full salary on loan from Chelsea.
With the 25-year-old Luis Diaz projected to be out until March, Klopp may look to Pulisic as an alternative to save face. It’s possible that Pulisic isn’t ready to take a pay cut, and Liverpool can accommodate that if they sign him. The winger will get plenty of playing time with the Reds this season.
Even if Newcastle United is taking a look at the situation, they have no intention of shelling out the whole €35 million and instead want to negotiate a far cheaper amount in the offseason. If the Merseysiders and the player are a perfect fit, they may sign him on loan for the season and then exercise an option to purchase him at a reduced price in the offseason.
