“If the subject of America came up, I told him [Pulisic] if they were willing to offer him a deal, he should take me along with him. You never know, things in football. You never know life and God’s plans, so if it came one day, you know, absolutely.”

Former Chelsea star on Lionel Messi's impact on MLS
Christian Pulisic spoke about MLS in 2023 and admitted that Lionel Messi's move to Inter Miami helped the league attract eyeballs. The former Chelsea man added that his American teammates were gaining with Messi's move as well and said (via ESPN):
"It absolutely helps. I mean obviously all the games that [Messi's] playing in MLS and these cups become massive games. It seems like everyone's there. It's exciting, it's fun. Obviously only a positive thing for this country, so I'm enjoying watching and following that Miami path. Obviously, some of our American teammates are there who've been playing really well, so it's fun to see how Messi has come in and help lift the level so much of that team as well."
Talking about his move away from Chelsea, he added:
"Definitely it was the right time for me [to move] and I'm loving it right now. I'm definitely enjoying the game, obviously put in some good performances and just have to keep it going. I'm really excited for the future there."
Christian Pulisic has played 91 matches for AC Milan since his move from Chelsea in 2023. He had played just 145 matches for the Blues, while scoring 26 times for them . He already has 30 goals in his short spell at San Siro.
