Christian Pulisic admits he follows the speculation regarding his future at Chelsea, but the reported Liverpool transfer target insists he is happy in west London, via quotes by Goal.

The American has proven to be a subject for gossip at times this season after struggling to claim a key role under Thomas Tuchel. Pulisic has only started 10 of his 15 Premier League outings and three of five in the Champions League ahead of the Blues hosting Real Madrid.

Tuchel has not seen a consistent end product from the United States captain, either, so far this term. He has provided six goals and four assists in all competitions, but has only struck four in the top-flight. He has also not held a set position, having moved around their attack.

So, clubs in England and abroad have taken stock of the 23-year-old’s situation at Stamford Bridge in view of moves. Calciomercato report Liverpool have explored signing Pulisic from Chelsea this term. But Gazzetta dello Sport add Juventus are looking into raiding the Blues.

Pulisic worked with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund before Chelsea paid £58m for his transfer in 2019. He agreed to a five year contract on arrival in west London, as well. But the Blues have not yet extended the 47-cap star’s deal beyond its 2024 end date.

Liverpool target Christian Pulisic ‘happy’ at Chelsea but is tracking the gossip

Only having two more years on his contract at Stamford Bridge does not worry Pulisic, yet. He also insists he is happy at Chelsea, and wants to focus on ending the campaign strongly.

Pulisic also admits he tracks the gossip surrounding his future with Chelsea, with Liverpool and Juventus exploring his transfer availability. But the USMNT dynamo wants to focus on what is directly ahead: a Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid on Wednesday.

“Of course, I have years left in my contract, I feel happy here,” Pulisic said. “We’ve been successful, we’ve done some great things as a team while I’ve been here. Currently, I’m enjoying my football. I’m going to finish the season strong.

“It’s not something I’m worried about, I feel good right now… Obviously, we hear things that are going on and we follow it. But right now, it is all about Real Madrid tomorrow and after that, it will be about the next game. That’s what we put our focus on as players.”
