Chelsea outcast Christian Pulisic could be handed a career lifeline by Napoli, as the Partenopei prepare to receive offers for their Scudetto–winning stars come June.
After a historic Scudetto victory, Napoli are now challenged in the transfer market, as several of their stars, including Victor Osimhen, Kim Min-jae and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, are being eyed by top European clubs, including Chelsea. Sensibly, sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is already scouring the landscape in a bid to strengthen the club’s squad.
? Chelsea are looking to offload Christian Pulisic at the end of the season and could use him as a makeweight to encourage Napoli to sell Victor Osimhen.

According to Corriere dello Sport (via TuttoNapoli), the USMNT winger is in the sights of the Azzurri having been publicized by his agents. Pulisic will enter the final year of his contract once the new season begins, and Chelsea could sell for a heavily discounted price relative to the €60M they paid Borussia Dortmund instead of seeing him leave for free.
There is also talk of the attacker reportedly being used as leverage to draw Osimhen to Chelsea. Juventus have also reportedly expressed interest in Pulisic, who is not expected to star under Mauricio Pochettino if the Argentine succeeds Frank Lampard at the Bridge (via DailyMail).
Napoli and Chelsea have a positive history of doing business in the recent past, with the acquisitions of Jorginho and Kalidou Koulibaly by the London club in the previous windows.
