Borussia Dortmund could be willing to sanction the sale of Christian Pulisic next month if the club no longer see the United States winger as being 'essential' to their aims. However, sporting director Michael Zorc still 'strongly expects' the player to stay beyond January.
Liverpool and Chelsea have both been heavily linked with the later seen as favourites to strike a £70m deal for the highly rated 20-year-old. The Reds are boosted by Pulisic's high regard of Jurgen Klopp. Meanwhile, Manchester United have also been rumoured as holding interest.
Dortmund are currently top of the Bundesliga standings and look on course to win a first German title since 2012, a triumph that would end Bayern Munich's domestic dominance.
