Chelsea sign Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund for €64m

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that Christian Pulisic will join Chelsea for €64m (£58m), with the United States forward to be loaned back to the Bundesliga leaders until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old moved to Germany as a teenager and has made more than 80 appearances for Dortmund. He admitted in November that he hoped to play in the Premier League having refused to sign an extension to his existing contract.

“It was always Christian’s dream to play in the Premier League. That certainly has to do with his American background, and as a result we were unable to extend his contract,” Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc told the club’s official website.

“Against this background, we have decided to accept an extremely lucrative bid by Chelsea, given the low contract maturity. Christian Pulisic is a character perfect player. I am sure that in the coming months he will do everything in his power to bring his high quality to the team and to achieve his sporting goals with his team-mates Borussia Dortmund.”

“In summer I move on to Chelsea and to a new competition, the English Premier League,” Pulisic told Chelsea’s official website. “It’s a privilege to have signed for such a legendary club and I look forward to working hard towards being a contributor to their team of world-class players.”

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia hailed Pulisic’s potential after the 20-year-old’s switch was agreed. “We are delighted to have signed one of Europe’s most sought-after young players,” she said in a club statement.

“Christian has shown his quality during a fantastic spell in Germany and at just 20, we believe he has the potential to become an important Chelsea player for many years to come. “We look forward to welcoming him to Stamford Bridge in the summer and wish him and Dortmund every success for the remainder of the season.”
