AC Milan’s move for Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic is advancing quickly, with ‘very hot hours’ expected as the two sides near an agreement.

That’s according to TuttoMercatoWeb, who say there have been ‘constant contacts’ between the two clubs over the American this morning to seal a deal worth €20m plus bonuses.

According to their information, only the ‘definitive’ and final go ahead from Chelsea is being awaited before Milan can push things through and complete a move for the forward.

That is expected to arrive in the next few hours, perhaps before Chelsea’s summer training camp is scheduled to begin.

The belief is that the famous ‘white smoke’ will be sent up sooner rather than later as an ‘agreement’ has been reached and only a ‘few details’ are missing on the negotiation between the two clubs.

Pulisic is ‘ready’ to make the move and swap Chelsea for Milan and become the latest departure from Stamford Bridge as Todd Boehly and co look to balance the books and trim down Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.
