A 2nd member of the first-team setup at Premier League giants Chelsea has given the go-ahead to a move to Italy with AC Milan, according to reports.
The Blues star in question? Christian Pulisic.
Ongoings between the respective powers that be at Chelsea and Milan have of course taken their place front and centre in the headlines across the week to date.
This comes after a lengthy saga ultimately culminated in the latter striking a deal, to bring Ruben Loftus-Cheek to San Siro with a view to next season.
The England international is understood to have put pen to paper on terms with Stefano Pioli’s side on Thursday, ahead of the official announcement of a move worth a fee in the region of £18 million.

If the latest word doing the rounds in the press on Friday evening is anything to go by, however, then discussions between Milan and Chelsea remain in full swing.
As per a report from French transfer expert Santi Aouna, wide-man Pulisic has given his ‘yes’ to a Rossoneri switch.
This comes after the United States international turned down a move to Ligue 1, with Olympique Lyonnais.
Talks, in turn, are ‘ongoing’ between the two clubs, equally keen to thrash out a deal as soon as possible.
