Christian Pulisic’s resurgence of his club career has gone exceptionally well for Italian giants AC Milan. The star of the United States men’s national team has five goals and two assists in his last six games with the team.
His days at San Siro could soon be over as Liverpool are planning a future without their biggest star Mohamed Salah and Pulisic is said to be a “candidate” to fill those huge shoes.
A move for Pulisic out of Serie A would come two seasons after he left England amid a massive change of clubs at Chelsea. The possibility was first reported by an Italian media outlet. Calciomercato.it.
Pulisic is entering the prime of his career at age 26, even though he has been in the American soccer spotlight for a decade.
The Hershey, Pennsylvania native has already played for some big European clubs, moving from Borussia Dortmund to Chelsea in 2019.
Christian Pulisic has been great recently for AC Milan, but a move to Liverpool is looming next year
Pulisic has 31 goals in 73 international games for the USMNT, making him a central figure now that the United States will host the World Cup in two years.
With Mauricio Pochettino taking over the Stars and Stripes, Pulisic has a coach at national team level who knows what it’s like to patrol a major European bench for the first time since the final days of Jurgen Klinsmann’s tenure in 2016.
Salah’s departure at the end of this season is not confirmed, but it is rumored that it will be a move to Saudi Arabia, where the Egyptian may have his next lavish contract when he turns 33 next June.
Salah has been one of Liverpool’s best players since joining the club in 2017.
He scored 158 goals in 255 appearances for the club and helped the Reds win the UEFA Champions League in 2019.
Pulisic’s market value has likely skyrocketed since his $20 million move from Chelsea last year. Liverpool have no problem spending big and it will cost the club a pretty penny to bring the American star back to England.
