The summer transfer window is open for some leagues in Europe and there’s plenty of gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Pulisic a priority for Lyon
Lyon have identified Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic as a key priority this summer, according to L’Equipe.
Talks are reported to have been held between the Ligue 1 side and the 24-year-old’s representatives, with Les Gones hopeful of winning the race for his signature ahead of a number of teams in Europe.
Much of the interest in him has come from Serie A where Napoli, AC Milan, and Juventus are all keen to add the USMNT star to their squad. However, Lyon are positioning themselves at the front of the queue for a deal where the Blues are reported to be looking for an offer of €20 million.
Pulisic struggled to establish himself as a regular at Stamford Bridge last season, starting just eight times with one goal in the Premier League. He remains in solid form for the U.S. squad, having scored twice in the USMNT’s Nations League semifinal 3-0 win over Mexico on the way to 2-0 title victory over Canada.
The French club is owned by American businessman John Textor, who also has majority stakes in Premier League side Crystal Palace and Brazil’s Botafogo.
