Christian Pulisic<\/a>\u00a0moved\u00a0from Borussia Dortmund<\/a>\u00a0in Germany to Chelsea in the English Premier League in 2019, becoming the\u00a0most expensive American soccer player<\/a>\u00a0of all time. In the last four years, though, he\u2019s struggled to make his mark due to form, injuries, and managers\u2019 lineup decisions. Now, as the Christian Pulisic contract nears its end, the USMNT star must make a move this summer in order to resuscitate his career. With that in mind, we\u2019ll also look at some of the most popular Christian Pulisic transfer rumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Christian Pulisic moved from Germany to England back in 2019, the American soccer star signed a six-year \u00a342,900,000 (~$53.2M) deal with Chelsea. This works out to an annual average salary of \u00a37,150,000 (~$8.8M).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christian Pulisic contract paid him \u00a33,900,000 (~$4.8M) for the second half of the 2018-19 season while he was technically on loan to finish the campaign with Borussia Dortmund and \u00a37,800,000 (~$9.6M) a year after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulisic\u2019s current wages are \u00a3150,000 (~186K) a week to get to that number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pact ends after the 2023-24 EPL season, and Chelsea will want to recoup some of the \u20ac64 million ($69.7M) fee the club paid to bring him to the UK. A Christian Pulisic transfer also makes sense for the player, as he needs to get more consistent minutes over the next three-plus years to get ready for the\u00a0North America-hosted 2026 World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With equal amounts of desire on both sides, it is almost certain that there will be a move for the winger during the 2023 Summer Transfer Window for the last year of the Christian Pulisic contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest question is now, which of the Christian Pulisic transfer rumors will play out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
