Italian outlet TuttoJuve claim that Chelsea have offered Christian Pulisic to Juventus but the United States skipper is not interested in a move – which could prove to be a boost for both Leeds United, and Newcastle United.
Pulisic, 23, is said to be “very, very open” to leaving Chelsea this summer. A lack of game time and signing Raheem Sterling is likely to have convinced him he needs to go. He will want to be in good form come the Qatar World Cup.
He has featured in Chelsea’s opening two Premier League matches, but only as a substitute. Reports state that the likes of Leeds, Newcastle and Manchester United are keen to keep him in the Premier League this summer.
For Chelsea, they would obviously prefer not to strengthen a domestic rival. TJ report that he has been offered to the Old Lady this summer. However, Pulisic is not interested in a move to Juventus, and has turned the Old Lady down.
That is, despite the presence of USMNT teammate Weston McKennie in the side. Juventus have also qualified for the Champions League – something which Leeds, Newcastle or United have failed to do.
Pulisic not interested in Juventus: Leeds and Newcastle boost
Why has Pulisic decided to turn Juventus down? Well, it might be that he finds himself in a similar predicament to the one he is currently in at Chelsea. They have just signed Filip Kostic from Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt.
Fede Chiesa, Juan Cuadrado, Moise Kean and another new signing in Angel Di Maria, are also options on the flanks. Pulisic is certainly not getting in above the two new additions, or Italy superstar Chiesa during the 2022-23 season.
Staying in the Premier League, but at a club that can offer game time, will massively help him. He will want to be at his premium before captaining the United States in Qatar. Leeds, Newcastle or even United can offer him this.
