• USA forward to be loaned back until end of season • Pulisic had refused to sign new Dortmund contractBorussia 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. Against this background, we have decided to accept an extremely lucrative bid by Chelsea, given the low contract maturity. He later added in a statement: “[I am] looking forward to working with Maurizio Sarri and his technical team. “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,” she said. “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.”
