Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic on different pages over Chelsea swap deals

Chelsea duo Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic reportedly have contrasting views on loan the club in swap deals in the summer transfer window.

Both Werner and Pulisic, whose spells at Stamford Bridge have had wavering levels of success, have been linked with potentially leaving Chelsea in swap transfer moves this summer, with both being mentioned in potential swap moves to bring Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Ligt to Stamford Bridge.

However, while both have been linked as potential swap options, reports claim that although Werner would be open to a trade exit in this transfer window, American Pulisic is instead keen on staying in Thomas Tuchel’s squad and fighting for regular minutes in the 2022/23 campaign.

Last month, reports from Sky Italy claimed that Chelsea were willing to offer €45m (£38.7m) plus Werner to sign De Ligt, with the report suggesting that Werner would be keen on signing for Juventus, although he may have to lower his wage demands in order to facilitate the move.

However, the Daily Mail have reported that while Pulisic’s name has been mentioned as a potential bargaining chip in a swap move to sign De Ligt, they have claimed that Pulisic would not be keen on a move and instead, wants to focus his future on being a regular under Tuchel, who managed the American winger while in charge of Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Raheem Sterling this summer, meaning the likes of Pulisic and the club’s other wingers face a battle on their hands to start ahead of him this summer.
