Christian Pulisic is said to be frustrated at Stamford Bridge and desperate to leave Chelsea – despite claims Mauricio Pochettino wants to work with him.

Well, the USA international endured a miserable 2022/23 season, making just eight Premier League starts while Chelsea finished 12th.
Therefore, Pulisic wants out.

The Evening Standard understands Chelsea’s number 10 in west London is no longer happy and is determined to leave Stamford Bridge before the transfer deadline.

It comes after Calciomercato claimed Pochettino likes Pulisic and hopes to work with him at Chelsea. The American – who was once described as “great” by Jürgen Klopp – joins Mason Mount and wants to leave Stamford Bridge.

The England international is said to have no plans to sign a new contract with Chelsea with his current tenure set to expire in 12 months due to strong interest from Manchester United.

Chelsea set to take hit on Pulisic

A squad overhaul usually involves some tough decisions and Chelsea have accepted that defeats have to be made.

The Mirror believes Chelsea are happy to take £34m for Romelu Lukaku – who cost £97.5m in 2021 – and now, according to L’Equipe, the Blues are open to just £17m for Pulisic.

This would represent a £41m loss on the £58m Chelsea spent to sign the 24-year-old from Borussia Dortmund in January 2019.

That’s well over £100m lost on those two players alone, although it would be foolish for Chelsea to believe anyone will pay £97.5m and £58m for Lukaku and Pulisic at this point, given their poor form in the last times.

However, Chelsea can’t keep disgruntled players at Stamford Bridge, so it’s time for the Blues to cut their losses on some fringe options.

Liverpool believes a £40 million Chelsea star would fit well at Anfield

Liverpool need a defender like the £40m Premier League star.
Liverpool need a left centre-back like Chelsea’s Levi Colwill, Redmen TV presenter Paul Machin has told GIVEMESPORT.

The Reds are linked with RB Leipzig’s Joško Gvardiol but Machin believes the young Englishman could be a good alternative to the Croatian.
Liverpool Transfer News – Levi Colwill

In April, the Evening Standard claimed Levi Colwill was a top target for Liverpool and Manchester City.

Brighton & Hove Albion, where the 20-year-old spent last season on loan, are also interested. According to MailOnline, the Seagulls are considering making a £40m offer after Chelsea rejected a £30m offer.

In addition to Colwill, Liverpool have also been eyeing Gvardiol. According to Football Insider, the Merseyside club are “huge fans” of the Leipzig star, but a deal is unlikely due to his price tag.

It means Jürgen Klopp will have to explore other options, like Colwill.
What did Paul Machin say about Levi Colwill and Liverpool? Machin is adamant that Liverpool need a central defender of Colwill’s profile and believes his status at home would make him a good fit for the club.

Asked about possible alternatives to Gvardiol, the Redmen TV presenter told GIVEMESPORT: “I think someone like Levi Colwill at Chelsea, who has had a very good season at Brighton, can fill that left-sided centre-back role. He can.

” also a little left rear.
“Obviously there’s a big overhaul going on at Chelsea this summer. At the moment there doesn’t seem to be much added value from there.

They seem to be on the heels of some footballers which is why I don’t think Mason Mount has moved to Manchester United yet. But I think he suits the local culture better and fills the need for a left centre-back which I think Liverpool have.”

Will Liverpool sign Levi Colwill this summer?
Colwill could certainly be a great addition to this Liverpool side.

According to FBref, he ranks in the 92nd percentile for progressive passing and 88th for progressive carries among his positional peers.
He proves that the England Under-21 international is quite a modern defender.

However, are Chelsea ready to sell him? The answer is probably not as The Guardian reports, they want to add him to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad next season.
Unless Colwill pushes for a move, a move to Liverpool or elsewhere seems unlikely.
