Mauricio Pochettino sets Christian Pulisic price as Chelsea ace linked with Juventus summer exit

Juventus are leading the race to sign Chelsea and USMNT star Christian Pulisic, according to ESPN.

Pulisic looks certain to move on from Stamford Bridge in the summer after failing to become a consistent performer. The 24-year-old has scored 26 goals and assisted 21 in 145 appearances during his time in England.

Todd Boehly's overhaul of the playing squad in the past year has meant Pulisic has fallen further down the pecking order. His circumstance is unlikely to change under Mauricio Pochettino, with his current contract expiring next summer meaning he's a sellable asset.

Napoli, AC Milan and Newcastle have all been linked with a move for the winger, though it is reportedly Juventus who are leading the race. According to ESPN, Chelsea are considering offloading Pulisic for £20million.

The report claims sources have claimed a number of clubs, including Man United and Galatasaray, have been approached over the prospect of Pulisic's services. All interested parties have been made aware of Pulisic's likely fee and salary.

Juventus are said to be eyeing-up Pulisic as an attacking option. Angel Di Maria and Juan Cuadrado both see their current contracts expire this summer, meaning the Italian side are seeking reinforcements.

It remains to be seen whether Pulisic will want to move to Juventus, with Champions League football not available in Turin. Newcastle and Napoli can all offer the opportunity to play in Europe's biggest competition.
