Atletico Madrid ‘are interested in signing Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic’ in the summer as the Blues prepare to offload key stars after spending big in January
- Pulisic could leave Chelsea after struggling for form during his stay in London
- Chelsea need to offload players after owner Todd Boehly invested heavily
- The Blues and Madrid have a good relationship with Joao Felix out on loan
Atletico Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Christian Pulisic.
The forward has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in recent months and could depart Stamford Bridge for good at the end of the season.
Chelsea are set to offload a number of players after owner Todd Boehly splashed the cash once again in January, meaning the squad is now overcrowded.
The influx of arrivals meant new centre-back Benoit Badiashile had to be left out the Blues’ Champions League squad.
It’s likely several high-profile names will leave the squad, with Pulisic potentially set to be the first one out the door, according to Football Espana.

Pulisic joined Chelsea in 2019 for £58million in a move from German side Borussia Dortmund.
He has struggled for consistency since joining the Blues, notching up 26 goals in 136 appearances.
He’s currently out injured after appearing to have been handed a lifeline by new Chelsea manager Graham Potter.
Madrid, meanwhile, are keen to add a wide player to their squad and Pulisic fits the bill.
The two clubs have a good relationship after completing deals for players such as Saul Niguez, Alvaro Morata and Diego Costa in the past.
Madrid forward Joao Felix is also currently on loan at Chelsea, scoring his first goal for the club against West Ham at the weekend.
