An intriguing report details how Chelsea may yet have a glimmer of hope of sealing the transfer of Christian Pulisic.
Despite the Daily Mail mainly stressing that Borussia Dortmund won’t want to sell the USA international, it also mentions that the Bundesliga giants could have reason to fear losing him for cheaper in a year’s time.
With that in mind, the Mail’s report states that Dortmund may yet be open to agreeing a deal that would see the £60million-rated attacker agree a transfer a season before actually moving on, as Liverpool did with Naby Keita and RB Leipzig.

It could still be that they’ll look to avoid making the same mistake with Pulisic, and Chelsea fans will hope that’s good news for them.
