Christian Pulisic, the talented winger sold by Chelsea to AC Milan for £20m, has reached an impressive milestone – 30 goal contributions since joining Milan last summer ¹. This remarkable feat showcases Pulisic’s resurgence and impact on his new team. His strike against Liverpool in the Champions League highlighted his skills and ability to perform under pressure ¹.
Pulisic’s success has sparked debate among Chelsea fans, with some questioning the decision to let him go. His father, however, denies that Pulisic’s time at Chelsea was a failure ¹. The American winger’s impressive performance has also drawn comparisons with Mykhailo Mudryk, who joined Chelsea in 2023 and plays in Pulisic’s position on the left ¹.
It’s worth noting that Chelsea sold several players last summer, including Mateo Kovacic, who was sold for £30m ², and Romelu Lukaku, who joined Napoli on a permanent basis ³. While Kovacic missed a crucial penalty in the Champions League, Lukaku has been thriving in Serie A, earning a spot in the league’s Team of the Week ³.
*Other Notable Chelsea Departures:*
– _Timo Werner_: Scored nine times and provided three assists in the Bundesliga since returning to RB Leipzig ⁴
– _Ross Barkley_: Released by Nice after scoring four times in 28 appearances ⁴
– _Marcos Alonso_: Performing well at Barcelona, but the transfer has been marred by controversy ⁴
Chelsea’s transfer decisions will continue to be scrutinized, but one thing is certain – Christian Pulisic is making the most of his opportunity at AC Milan.
