Barcelona appear to be watching Christian Pulisic as an alternative to Raheem Sterling
Sterling is actually at the top of Barcelona’s list. Obviously you have to go other ways – is that why Pulisic is now an issue?
Since the dream player Raheem Sterling is likely to get nothing, FC Barcelona is allegedly looking for alternatives at Chelsea and apparently has Christian Pulisic in mind. The Spanish newspaper reports Sports.
Accordingly, Barca should plan next to the Return of Dani Alves to bring in three more players in January. Above all, the offensive should be intensified, but because of the enormous financial problems of the Catalans, it should preferably be loan deals.
FC Barcelona: In addition to Pulisic, Ziyech and Hudson-Odoi Thema
Since Manchester City is unlikely to agree to a loan from Sterling, Barcelona are now looking to London, according to the report. Ex-BVB star Pulisic is the first option – especially since Barca are well informed that the American is not particularly satisfied with the blues.
Although he is still under contract in London until 2024, he would be open to saying goodbye to Stamford Bridge because of the enormous competition on the offensive. The same applies to Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi, whose situation Barca are also expected to monitor closely.
Pulisic moved to Chelsea from Dortmund in 2019. So far this season, the 23-year-old has missed most of the games due to an ankle injury and has only recently returned to the field.
