LYON have expressed an interest in signing Christian Pulisic from Chelsea, according to reports.
The Blues are prepared to bid farewell to several first team stars this summer, including Kai Havertz, Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and Mason Mount.
N'Golo Kante has already left Stamford Bridge to join Saudi Super League club Al-Ittihad in a free transfer.
And according to French outlet L'Equipe, Pulisic could be one of the next players to move on.
Lyon are considering a swoop for the winger, but the club's controlling shareholder Eagle Football Holdings – led by American businessman John Textor – also hold 45 per cent of shares in Crystal Palace, so he could make a move to Selhurst Park.
Pulisic is said to be a priority target for the Eagles this summer, but Lyon are currently the main club involved in discussions.

The 24-year-old reportedly held talks with Lyon officials at the end of last season.
And he is keen on the prospect of a move away from Stamford Bridge.
Pulisic joined Chelsea in a £58million transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2019, but he has gradually fallen down the club's pecking order.
He was limited to 30 appearances across all competitions last season.
