For AC Milan, the move is part of their effort to get back to the Serie A Championship, a title the club has won just three times in the past 24 years. Pulisic agreed to the transfer weeks ago, before Chelsea management, according to soccer insider Fabrizio Romano. The American forward won both a UEFA Champions League title and Club World Cup with Chelsea.
