This new bid is closer to their valuation of the USA international who has just one year left on his contract, but may not be enough in light of what Lyon have offered for him.

The Italians have shopped at Stamford Bridge a number of times over the past few years, acquiring the likes of Olivier Giroud, Fikayo Tomori and Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Pulisic signed for Chelsea from Dortmund for £58m back in 2019, and has gone on to win the Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

However, he never established himself as a regular in the first-team under Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, with injuries hampering his game-time.

In all, the 24-year-old has made 47 goal contributions in 145 games for the Blues, and last season he scored just once in 30 appearances, with just 10 of those being starts.
