Milan ask Chelsea for Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek

Milan are again looking to Chelsea for their new striker and reportedly hoping to pick up Christian Pulisic or Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

The Rossoneri have been short-staffed in attack all season with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Divock Origi and Charles De Ketelaere struggling with injuries and poor form.

According to Calciomercato.com, they hope to build on a good rapport with Chelsea, having signed Olivier Giroud from them for just €1m in 2021.

The ideal reinforcement would be Loftus-Cheek, but with a €30m asking price and plenty of competition, that seems to be beyond their budget right now.

A more likely candidate also for his role is Pulisic, who can play on either wing or as a False 9 if needed.

The 24-year-old United States international is only under contract until June 2024 and has contributed just one goal and two assists in 21 competitive appearances this season.

Chelsea have just spent a total €130m to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk and Noni Madueke in January, so ought to start whittling down the existing squad.
