AC Milan is preparing a third and what it considers its final bid for Chelsea's Christian Pulisic.
Chelsea rejected Milan's last proposal of $24million overnight and, if unsuccessful with their next offer, the Italians are considering switching targets to Samuel Chukwueze of Villarreal.
USA international Pulisic has made it clear that he wishes to join Milan but the club's offers, including an opening gambit of $15m plus add-ons, have failed to meet Chelsea's desired price.
Lyon made an offer of around $27m too at the weekend but that move did not appeal to the 24-year old.
