Christian Pulisic to AC Milan: Why the USMNT star might become a key player for Stefano Pioli's side

Milan and Chelsea have reached a deal, but what should we expect from the American at the San Siro?

Chelsea and AC Milan have agreed to terms on the transfer of U.S. men's national team star Christian Pulisic, and in a matter of days, he's expected to officially join the Serie A giants. After the USMNT star agreed to join the club, the Blues and Rossoneri moved quickly to reach an agreement. According to CBS Sports soccer insider Fabrizio Romano, it will be for €20 million with add-ons.

Pulisic is still one of the most talented USMNT players as things stand, despite having some ups and downs in the past, especially due to the fact that Chelsea went through several tactical and managerial changes. For sure, Pulisic didn't show his best skills in the past year, but not many did at Chelsea, considering the difficult and unstable situation. For this reason, changing the club this summer is the best choice for the player, who is seeking a place where he could get back at the level he is used to.  

After the arrival of coach Mauricio Pochettino, many players at Chelsea had to make a move, not specifically because they couldn't stay or play, but due to the incredible number of players registered on the roster. This was the case of Pulisic this summer. He could stay, but he probably couldn't play as much as he wanted or be central in the project as much as he deserved.
