Why Christian Pulisic’s dream move to Chelsea took a turn for the worse
New York TimesIt speaks volumes about the course of the past four years that Christian Pulisic leaving Chelsea this summer, at the age of 24 and for almost £40million less than the fee paid to acquire him from Borussia Dortmund in January 2019, will be a source of considerable relief for both parties. Chelsea’s co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley likely regard persuading AC Milan to pay a significant transfer fee for a player so clearly surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, a player entering the final year of his contract and a player who had prompted only loan offers in the previous two transfer windows, as a triumph of negotiation. Pulisic leaves west London with some nice memories of his own, with Champions League and Club World Cup winners’ medals and with the prime years of his career still presumably ahead of him — but without having come particularly close to blossoming into the transformative talent and global superstar that both he and Chelsea hoped he could become. It is tempting to wonder how differently Pulisic might be remembered at Stamford Bridge had he inspired Chelsea to victory over Arsenal in the 2020 FA Cup final rather than snapping his hamstring after a brilliant start, or found a clinical touch to double Chelsea’s lead against Manchester City in the Champions League final a year later, or converted either of two golden chances against Liverpool in the 2022 Carabao Cup final. Even the early sacking of Tuchel last September could not prevent 2022-23 from yielding Pulisic’s fewest league minutes since his debut season at Dortmund.
