In a couple of days, it will officially be the winter silly season. But that doesn’t mean the silliness can’t start a little early, as with the latest Christian Pulisic transfer rumors.
According to German tabloid Bild, Chelsea will purchase Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund for $57 million in the summer.

The news comes amidst great speculation on where the American 20-year-old could wind up after seeing diminished playing time in Germany as Jadon Sancho’s career has surged. Perhaps Pulisic could be Eden Hazard’s replacement should the Belgian leave the Blues.
Bild report that @cpulisic_10 and @ChelseaFC have agreed on a summer transfer. @BVB have also given their OK - if the money is right. #bvb #cfc

Of course, this is just one report from one German tabloid, so take it with a grain of salt. But a Pulisic transfer to the Premier League has been rumored for some time, though a Real Madrid move has also been hinted at.
Christian Pulisic appeared just three times and did not score for the USMNT in 2018 as the Americans had a less-than-stellar year.
