Christian Pulisic is quite easily the biggest football star in all of America. He’s the captain of the country’s football team, the USMNT, and also won the UEFA Champions League this season with his club, Chelsea. As a result, any sponsorship or partnership with Pulisic is all the more important for a brand. Therefore, the announcement of Pulisic joining Puma came as a huge surprise to several people. The 22-year-old was an athlete for Nike, one of the biggest sports brands in the USA. He talked about this change in an interview with Complex [https://www.complex.com/sneakers/christian-pulisic-signing-to-puma-interview] and revealed why signing with Puma appealed to him so much. “Puma just fit in with exactly the message that I want to send. I think we’re trying to inspire players just to get out and play any way they can and play the game and grow the game of soccer in America. And it lined up exactly with what I was feeling, and it just seemed like a perfect fit,” Pulisic said. The interviewer asked Pulisic if he’ll have a bigger say in the operations with Puma than with Nike, and the American revealed that this was a huge reason for his change. “Absolutely, I think I will. I think that’s, I mean one of their biggest points and another massive reason why that seemed like an easy choice is because yeah, they want me to give my ideas, talk about what I like and that they want to see that and use that as well,” he said. CHRISTIAN PULISIC TALKS ABOUT HIS FAVORITE SNEAKERS FROM PUMA When he was asked about his favorite sneakers from Puma, Christian Pulisic didn’t have a definite answer. While he did single out the Puma Suedes, he said that he didn’t have an ideal shoe. “I mean, that’s tough to say—my favorites from the Pumas. I definitely love these Puma Suedes. So something very nice, very chill, that I think is an instant classic. So I love wearing these, but my ideal one. Yeah, I don’t have something like that,” he revealed. Tokyo Olympics 2020?

The Chelsea football team is an English professional team that competes in the Premier League. It was first founded in 1905 and is based in Fulham City. It's one of the most successful clubs in English football history.

"The Blues", as they're commonly regarded by their fans, were first founded by Gus Mears. And they won their first major trophy back in 1955. However, their most successful period has taken place under the ownership of Roman Abramovich.

He took over Chelsea FC in 2003 and has since brought a plethora of trophies to the Stamford Bridge, their home stadium. In their history, Chelsea have won over thirty championships, including six league titles and five European trophies. Though five of the six league championships and three of the five European titles were won in the Abramovich Era.

Their most successful manager has been Jose Mourinho, who has won eight titles in his two stints at Stamford Bridge. Their current manager, Frank Lampard is regarded as their most legendary figure along with the likes of John Terry, Didier Drogba, David Webb, John Hollins, and Pat Nevin.

In 2016, Chelsea was ranked as the seventh most valuable football club in the world £1.15 billion, by Forbes magazine. As of 2016, Chelsea are ranked eighth in the Deloitte Football Money League with annual commercial revenue of £322.59 million.

Most recently, they won the UEFA Champions League under the leadership of manager Thomas Tuchel. They beat the Premier League champions Manchester City 1-0 in the final as Kai Havertz took the Blues to the promised land.

<h2 class="jsx-2716971373" style="text-align: center">Christian Pulisic: <strong>Career, Achievements, </strong><strong>Net Worth in 2024, </strong><strong>and </strong><strong>Personal Life</strong></h2>
Christian Pulisic has come a long way from the quiet streets of Hershey, Pennsylvania, to the packed stadiums of Europe’s biggest clubs. He’s blazed a trail for American players, proving that the U.S. can bring some serious talent to the soccer world. And while Pulisic might not be the loudest voice on the field, his skill and drive have turned him into one of America’s most successful soccer exports. From his time breaking through in Germany to new beginnings in Italy, Pulisic’s career is still on the rise. Here’s a look at his journey, his achievements, his net worth in 2024, and some personal interests off the field.

He was born on September 18, 1998, to Mark Pulisic and Kelly Pulisic in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Likewise, he started playing soccer at the age of seven for Brackley Town youth academy. Thus, his career started from there. From there, he trained with the PA Classics Club which is an affiliate of the USA Soccer Development Academy while playing with Harrisburg City Islanders as well.

<h3>From Pennsylvania to the Bundesliga</h3>
Pulisic’s career began on familiar grounds, with parents who were former college soccer players themselves. By age 7, he was already ahead of his peers, and by 16, he was taking his talents to Borussia Dortmund in Germany’s Bundesliga. There, he adjusted to a new culture and language—a tough transition for any teenager. But Pulisic adapted quickly, and his focus paid off.

By 17, he was already making appearances for Dortmund’s first team, becoming one of the youngest foreign players to score in the Bundesliga. Fans took notice of his skill, his confidence on the ball, and his knack for finding the net. Those early years at Dortmund were about more than just soccer for Pulisic—they set the foundation for his career, both as a player and as the “American kid” breaking barriers in European soccer.

After <a href="https://sportsshow.net/christian-pulisic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scoring</a> 10 goals for Dortmund, big clubs came calling he moved to Chelsea for a reported fee of $73 million and he became the most expensive American soccer player of all time.

The mazy dribbler from Pennsylvania made his debut against Manchester United on 11th August 2019. The American started strongly and scored a hattrick against Burnley; likewise, became the youngest player to score three goals for Chelsea. Last season, he won the Champions League with the Blues as he already is one of the best players at the club.

Significantly, he is one of the most important players for the USMNT. By captaining his side in the 2015 under-17 World Cup, Pulisic proved to be the difference for the Americans in many competitions. He scored 20 goals in 34 appearances for his country. His first-team senior call-up came on 27th March 2016 while making his debut against Guatemala on March 30th, 2016. The soccer player has scored 16 goals from 40 appearances fr the USMNT.

<h3>The Chelsea Chapter: Success and Setbacks</h3>
In 2019, Pulisic made headlines when he signed with Chelsea FC for $73 million, setting a record for an American player. Moving to the Premier League was a big step, putting him in one of the world’s most competitive leagues and under an even brighter spotlight. The physicality of English soccer tested him, and there were definitely moments when he had to battle for his place in a crowded Chelsea lineup.

One of Pulisic’s defining moments came during Chelsea’s 2020-21 Champions League run, where he played a key role in taking the club to the final. Chelsea went on to lift the trophy, and Pulisic became the first American to win a Champions League final. It was a milestone that put him in the history books and further solidified his reputation abroad. But while he had some incredible moments, injuries often kept him off the field, and his time at Chelsea was a mix of highs and tough breaks.
<h3>2024: Finding a New Groove at AC Milan</h3>
After Chelsea, Pulisic decided to take a new path in 2023, signing with AC Milan in Italy’s Serie A. For him, this wasn’t just about finding a new club—it was a fresh start. Italy’s style of play is more tactical and slower-paced compared to the Premier League, which has allowed Pulisic to find his rhythm and showcase his technical skills.

So far, he’s fitting in well with Milan, scoring goals and contributing to the team’s attack. Italian fans have embraced him, and Pulisic’s getting more playing time, something he’d struggled with during his Chelsea years. By 2024, he’s proving that he can adapt to a new environment once again, keeping his game sharp and finding his place among Milan’s roster. The move has also given him a fresh stage to show what he’s capable of as one of the U.S.’s biggest soccer names.
<h3>Career Achievements So Far</h3>
At 26, Pulisic has packed a lot of achievements into his career already. During his time at Dortmund, he won a German Cup title and set records as one of the youngest foreigners to score in the Bundesliga. With Chelsea, he made history by winning the Champions League, plus a UEFA Super Cup title.

Pulisic’s role in the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) is just as big. He’s been a key player in the squad, leading the team in goals and assists through multiple tournaments. His standout moment came during the 2021 CONCACAF Nations League final against Mexico, where he scored a crucial penalty to secure the title. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Pulisic’s experience and leadership will be essential for the USMNT as they aim to make a strong showing on home soil.
<h2>Christian Pulisic's Net Worth in 2024: Big Contracts and Big Brand Deals</h2>
By 2024, Pulisic’s net worth is estimated to be around <strong>$40 million</strong>. That number comes not just from his club contracts but also from endorsement deals with major brands. Puma, in particular, has backed him as a global ambassador, while EA Sports regularly features him in their FIFA series promotions. Pulisic’s deals reflect his growing popularity as both a player and a marketable American star abroad.

The other endorsement brands are Hersey's, fast-food restaurant Chipotle, and the energy drink company, Gatorade. Nevertheless, he promotes the soccer training app Perfect Play.

The American has done much charity work for the people. Notably, a young fan donated a Pulisic jersey to the relief fund for the victims of a devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico. Learning the noble gesture, the American gifted a jersey while contributing to the relief fund.

He made contributions to 'Feeding America', a charity that tackled food poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic. He delivered food while associating with Chipotle to the staff at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

Pulisic’s story is far from over. As of 2024, he’s got years ahead of him in the game, and he’s already considered one of the most accomplished American players in Europe. His next big goals? Helping Milan find success in Serie A and continuing to lead the USMNT as they look toward the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in the U.S.

Christian Pulisic

Christian Pulisic: Career, Achievements, Net Worth in 2024, and Personal Life Christian Pulisic has come a long way from the quiet streets of Hershey, Pennsylvania, to the packed stadiums of Europe’s biggest clubs. He’s blazed a trail for American players, proving that the U.S. can bring some serious talent to the soccer world. And while Pulisic might not be the loudest voice on the field, his skill and drive have turned him into one of America’s most successful soccer exports. From his time breaking through in Germany to new beginnings in Italy, Pulisic’s career is still on the rise. Here’s a look at his journey, his achievements, his net worth in 2024, and some personal interests off the field. He was born on September 18, 1998, to Mark Pulisic and Kelly Pulisic in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Likewise, he started playing soccer at the age of seven for Brackley Town youth academy. Thus, his career started from there. From there, he trained with the PA Classics Club which is an affiliate of the USA Soccer Development Academy while playing with Harrisburg City Islanders as well.

By age 7, he was already ahead of his peers, and by 16, he was taking his talents to Borussia Dortmund in Germany’s Bundesliga. There, he adjusted to a new culture and language—a tough transition for any teenager. But Pulisic adapted quickly, and his focus paid off. By 17, he was already making appearances for Dortmund’s first team, becoming one of the youngest foreign players to score in the Bundesliga. Fans took notice of his skill, his confidence on the ball, and his knack for finding the net. Those early years at Dortmund were about more than just soccer for Pulisic—they set the foundation for his career, both as a player and as the “American kid” breaking barriers in European soccer.

The mazy dribbler from Pennsylvania made his debut against Manchester United on 11th August 2019. The American started strongly and scored a hattrick against Burnley; likewise, became the youngest player to score three goals for Chelsea. Last season, he won the Champions League with the Blues as he already is one of the best players at the club. Significantly, he is one of the most important players for the USMNT. By captaining his side in the 2015 under-17 World Cup, Pulisic proved to be the difference for the Americans in many competitions. He scored 20 goals in 34 appearances for his country. His first-team senior call-up came on 27th March 2016 while making his debut against Guatemala on March 30th, 2016. The soccer player has scored 16 goals from 40 appearances fr the USMNT.

Moving to the Premier League was a big step, putting him in one of the world’s most competitive leagues and under an even brighter spotlight. The physicality of English soccer tested him, and there were definitely moments when he had to battle for his place in a crowded Chelsea lineup. One of Pulisic’s defining moments came during Chelsea’s 2020-21 Champions League run, where he played a key role in taking the club to the final. Chelsea went on to lift the trophy, and Pulisic became the first American to win a Champions League final. It was a milestone that put him in the history books and further solidified his reputation abroad. But while he had some incredible moments, injuries often kept him off the field, and his time at Chelsea was a mix of highs and tough breaks. 2024: Finding a New Groove at AC Milan After Chelsea, Pulisic decided to take a new path in 2023, signing with AC Milan in Italy’s Serie A. For him, this wasn’t just about finding a new club—it was a fresh start. Italy’s style of play is more tactical and slower-paced compared to the Premier League, which has allowed Pulisic to find his rhythm and showcase his technical skills. So far, he’s fitting in well with Milan, scoring goals and contributing to the team’s attack. Italian fans have embraced him, and Pulisic’s getting more playing time, something he’d struggled with during his Chelsea years. By 2024, he’s proving that he can adapt to a new environment once again, keeping his game sharp and finding his place among Milan’s roster. The move has also given him a fresh stage to show what he’s capable of as one of the U.S.’s biggest soccer names. Career Achievements So Far At 26, Pulisic has packed a lot of achievements into his career already. During his time at Dortmund, he won a German Cup title and set records as one of the youngest foreigners to score in the Bundesliga. With Chelsea, he made history by winning the Champions League, plus a UEFA Super Cup title. Pulisic’s role in the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) is just as big. He’s been a key player in the squad, leading the team in goals and assists through multiple tournaments. His standout moment came during the 2021 CONCACAF Nations League final against Mexico, where he scored a crucial penalty to secure the title. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Pulisic’s experience and leadership will be essential for the USMNT as they aim to make a strong showing on home soil. Christian Pulisic&#8217;s Net Worth in 2024: Big Contracts and Big Brand Deals By 2024, Pulisic’s net worth is estimated to be around $40 million. That number comes not just from his club contracts but also from endorsement deals with major brands. Puma, in particular, has backed him as a global ambassador, while EA Sports regularly features him in their FIFA series promotions. Pulisic’s deals reflect his growing popularity as both a player and a marketable American star abroad. The other endorsement brands are Hersey&#8217;s, fast-food restaurant Chipotle, and the energy drink company, Gatorade. Nevertheless, he promotes the soccer training app Perfect Play.

Notably, a young fan donated a Pulisic jersey to the relief fund for the victims of a devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico. Learning the noble gesture, the American gifted a jersey while contributing to the relief fund. He made contributions to &#8216;Feeding America&#8217;, a charity that tackled food poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic. He delivered food while associating with Chipotle to the staff at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. Pulisic’s story is far from over. As of 2024, he’s got years ahead of him in the game, and he’s already considered one of the most accomplished American players in Europe. His next big goals? Helping Milan find success in Serie A and continuing to lead the USMNT as they look toward the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in the U.S.  Age 26 years  Marriage Nil  Height 5 feet 8 inches  Weight 154lbs  Nationality United States of America  Teams USMNT, AC Milan  Endorsements Puma, Hershey’s, Gatorade, EA Sports, Chipotle  Contact details Twitter: @cpulisic_10 Instagram: @cmpulisic
