Chelsea have received offers from both AC Milan and Lyon for winger Christian Pulisic with the latter outbidding the former in the most recent development.
Pulisic Wanted By AC Milan & Lyon
Milan made an offer of €14m to sign the 24-year-old, but Lyon have bid a much higher €25m.
Pulisic has just one year left on his Chelsea contract and is hoping to move on this summer after enduring four tricky seasons in West London.
The United States international would prefer a move to Milan, but Lyon have put in a bigger bid with more favourable add-ons including a sell-on clause.

It is unknown at this stage whether Milan will match the offer, but have had good relationship with Chelsea in recent seasons with plenty of business done between the two clubs. Ruben Loftus-Cheek joined the Serie A outfit last week after 19 years at the club.
However, Chelsea also have a strong relationship with Lyon after signing Malo Gusto in January.

Pulisic started just nine games last season for the Blues and is desperate for a move as he bids to get his career back on track. The 24-year-old has found the back of the net 26 times in 145 appearances for the club after signing from Borussia Dortmund in 2019.
There has been plenty of outgoings so far at Chelsea since the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino with more expected in the coming weeks. Among those who have already departed are Edouard Mendy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly, N’Golo Kante, Kai Havertz. Mason Mount is also edging closer to completing a move to Manchester United.
