Chelsea FC are enjoying a brilliant spell under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel. They won the UEFA Champions League last season, and are currently sitting in first place in the Premier League table after a brilliant start to the season. However, things haven’t been so great for their American winger, Christian Pulisic.

The USMNT captain has had a torrid time at the club ever since his big-money move from BVB Dortmund in 2019. Every time he has played for the club, Pulisic has had a positive impact, but playing time is hard to come by in the best team in Europe.

Christian Pulisic and his struggles with injuries in London.

However, it isn’t for a lack of quality that the star sitting on the bench. Pulisic has been plagued with multiple injuries ever since he arrived in England. He has only played two Premier League games this season but does have a goal to his name.

As a result, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the forward leave London for some more game time. Spanish club FC Barcelona is offering Pulisic a lifeline as new manager (and former Barcelona legend) Xavi Hernandez is looking to sign a few wingers.

Another promising winger from Dortmund with an extremely worrying injury record might not be the wisest decision for Barcelona. But then again, Barca aren’t known for their wise decisions in the transfer market.

Thomas Tuchel would let Pulisic leave Chelsea in the winter transfer window.

Moreover, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel won’t be averse to the idea of selling Pulisic because of the depth Chelsea have in that position. According to El Nacional, the German has already decided to let the American leave in January.

Pulisic will line up with his international teammate Sergino Dest, who is currently also deputizing as a winger for the Spanish club. Pulisic can play on both the right and the left-wing and has also proven to be capable in the central attacking midfield role.

Barcelona are looking upwards after sacking their Dutch manager Ronald Koeman and appointing Xavi. The Spaniard will look to help bring his club back to the top, and signing Christian Pulisic will be a huge statement of intent from the club. Whether or not they should, is a different question altogether.
