Christian Pulisic<\/strong> is poised to be one of several players ushered out the door at Chelsea FC<\/strong> this summer — and thanks to two sensational<\/a> performances in the CONCACAF Nations League<\/strong> earlier this month<\/a>, the price tag United States<\/strong> skipper might have a higher cost on it.<\/p>\n Several teams are jostling to sign Pulisic<\/strong>, who had a difficult season in the Premier League<\/strong> but showed his quality once again while on USMNT<\/strong> duty. One of the clubs interested in Puli<\/strong> appears to be a Ligue 1 powerhouse — with American owners looking to make a statement signing.<\/p>\n According to L’Equipe<\/strong>, Olympique Lyonnais<\/strong> have joined the race for Pulisic<\/strong>, whose ownership group has likely watched a few of the 24-year-old’s 57 national team appearances — and seen many of his 23 goals.<\/p>\n American businessman John Textor<\/strong> became Lyon<\/strong>‘s new majority stakeholder in December and replaced longtime president Jean-Michel Aulas<\/strong> in May — a shakeup that will likely prompt big changes at one of France<\/strong>‘s biggest clubs. Textor and his Eagle Football Group<\/strong> are reportedly seeking to capitalize on Chelsea<\/strong>‘s need to trim its squad and sign arguably the biggest American star to play for the seven-time Ligue 1<\/strong> winners, but the deal won’t be simple.<\/p>\n Interest in Pulisic<\/strong> has been wide-ranging over the past year, with clubs in Germany and Italy consistently linked with a move for the winger. There could even be English teams in the hunt for Puli<\/strong> — including one owned by Textor<\/strong> and his group.<\/p>\n According to Transfermarkt<\/strong>, Pulisic<\/a> has a market value of 25 million ($27.3 million) — the lowest since he was an 18-year-old at Borussia Dortmund<\/strong>. With many clubs sniffing around the USMNT<\/strong> star, it remains to be seen if Lyon<\/strong> — or anyone else — will make an offer Chelsea <\/strong> can’t refuse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nLyon in the fight for Pulisic?<\/h2>\n
