AC Milan are closer than ever to signing USMNT star forward Christian Pulisic from Chelsea this summer.
The Serie A side are confident that they will receive the green light from the Blues in the next 24 hours to complete a permanent transfer after their second offer submitted on Wednesday worth up to $24m including add-ons was accepted.

The Rossoneri have a good relationship with the West Londoners after working together on deals including Olivier Giroud, Fikayo Tomori, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who moved to Milan last week.
The two clubs are now in close contact again and are expected to continue thrashing out the final details of Pulisic’s transfer this weekend. Chelsea are set to make a huge loss of $50m on the 24-year-old forward who moved to London from German giants Borussia Dortmund just four years ago.
