USMNT news: Christian Pulisic to AC Milan
Christian Pulisic moving to AC Milan from Chelsea has been in the works for some time now. However, the deal has now finally been completed.
Fabrizio Romano has tweeted “Pulisic to AC Milan, here we go! Deal in place between clubs as Chelsea accepted conditions of final bid. Personal terms agreed weeks ago as the player only wanted Milan — pushing for this new chapter. Medical/travel being scheduled.”
The news has been rejoiced by USMNT fans who will now hopefully be able to see their star player perform regularly. Milan is an excellent choice of club for Pulisic as they will be in the Champions League next season and are one of the biggest teams in World soccer.
It is also great that this transfer will be completed in time for Pulisic to be involved in Milan’s pre-season. The Italian side are doing a tour of the USA with fixtures against Real Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona. This is a fantastic opportunity for Stars and Stripes fans to see Pulisic in action for his new club.
USMNT news: Yunus Musah to Fulham
Yunus Musah has also been linked with AC Milan but he could now be set for a move to the Premier League.
Diego Mendoza has revealed that “Musah has agreed to personal terms with Fulham and given Valencia the green light for the move. Valencia will wait for Milan to respond. Personal terms already agreed with the Italian side. Decision soon.”
Milan is a team that can offer Champions League soccer but Fulham will not be in Europe next season. Although, at Craven Cottage, Musah would have a much better chance of playing regularly.
At Fulham, he will be also able to play alongside fellow Americans, Antonee Robinson and Tim Ream. Robinson has also been linked with Milan but he has now signed a new contract with the London side.
USMNT news: Ricardo Pepi joins PSV Eindhoven
Ricardo Pepi has finally completed his move from Augsburg to PSV Eindhoven. After spending last season on loan at FC Groningen -who were relegated from the Eredivisie- it will be interesting to see how he gets on at one of the Netherlands’ top sides.
The American told PSV’s official website “I believe this is the right step for my career. PSV is a club with great ambitions, and I share the same desire to win trophies. I am a hardworking player who is willing to put in the dirty work. I prefer to have the ball close to the goal because that’s when I can score goals.”
