Several players have made the move from Chelsea to Milan, including Olivier Giroud, Fikayo Tomori and Tiemoue Bakayoko.

The deal for Pulisic is believed to be worth up to €22 million (£18.8m), and included an initial €20m plus €2m in add-ons. He arrived at Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in January 2019 in a £58million ($63.6million) deal, and subsequently returned to the Bundesliga side on loan for the remainder of that campaign. He secured three major trophies during his time at the club, including the Champions League in 2021.

Pulisic leaves Stamford Bridge after making 145 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 26 goals and registering 17 assists. Last season was a frustrating one for the American after struggling to gain a consistent run of game time in a dismal season for Chelsea. He made 30 appearances across all competitions last season, but only managed 10 starts and scored just once.
