Chelsea's Christian Pulisic 'wants to stay in Europe despite Saudi interest''

Chelsea's Christian Pulisic is reportedly prepared to reject offers for his services from Saudi Arabia in order to remain in Europe for next season.

The USA international struggled to earn regular gametime under a combination of Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Frank Lampard this term for the Blues, starting just eight Premier League matches, scoring only once.

Since making the switch from Borussia Dortmund to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2019, the 24-year-old has played over 140 games, winning the Champions League with the West Londoners during the 2020-21 campaign.

According to Football Insider, Pulisic is keen to remain in Europe despite interest from the Saudi Pro League, with the attacker looking set to leave Chelsea this summer.

It is believed that a number of Saudi clubs are prepared to offer the American a way out of Chelsea with the player said to be unhappy at the club, however the winger would prefer to stay in Europe.

Earning a reported wage of £150,000 per week, Pulisic is understood to be a 'prime candidate' to leave Stamford Bridge in this transfer window as the Blues look to trim their bloated squad and reduced their hefty wage bill.
