Chelsea reportedly set their valuation for winger Christian Pulisic, who is highly likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Chelsea are reportedly determined to generate £25m from the sale of Christian Pulisic this summer.

The Blues' hierarchy are currently focused on trying to recoup as many funds as possible before they file their accounts for the 2022-23 on June 30.

Having spent £600m across the last two transfer windows, Chelsea must make sales, with Mateo Kovacic the latest to depart in favour of a switch to Manchester City.

If reports are to be believed, Edouard Mendy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz will also complete exits over the coming days.

However, the future of Pulisic remains somewhat up in the air with the winger having not received the level of interest as some of his teammates.

That said, there is an acceptance that the United States international's time at Chelsea is coming to an end with neither party having a desire to extend his contract past 2024.

Pulisic himself has already publicly acknowledged that he wants to sign for a new team over the coming weeks having become no more than a squad member under a number of different head coaches.

Nevertheless, according to the Evening Standard, Chelsea are currently standing firm at a price tag of £25m, a figure which teams are currently against paying.

Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have generally maintained their stances, as shown with the situation regarding Mason Mount who allegedly wants to sign for Manchester United.

Like Pulisic, Mount has 12 months on his contract, and Chelsea realistically cannot afford to risk both players leaving on free transfers this time next year.

AC Milan and Juventus are said to be admirers of Pulisic, with the Italian giants seemingly likely to attempt to reach a compromise over a fee at some stage.

The former are on the brink of signing Loftus-Cheek and will soon have money to spend once Sandro Tonali is confirmed as a Newcastle United player.

Pulisic has also been linked with each of Manchester United and Newcastle United, although he has allegedly rejected the chance to move to a club in the Saudi Pro League.
