AC Milan are closing in on the signings of Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah, according to Spanish media.

The Italian giants are looking to strengthen following a disappointing Serie A season. Though they went on a deep run in the Champions League, reaching the semi-final stage, they only finished fourth in the league, a whopping 20 points behind winners Napoli.

Having lost Brahim Diaz, whose lengthy loan from Real Madrid finally expired, the Rossoneri have been in the market for a new creative attacker and it appears that they have found the ideal target in Chelsea's Christian Pulisic.

The US men's national team star has had a tough time at Stamford Bridge lately and a move has been on the cards for months. Long-linked with the Milan side, a deal seems to be in the offing now, according to Spanish outlet Relevo, headed by Italian journalist Matteo Moretto.

A USMNT double swoop

Pulisic won't be the only American to head to Italy, if the report is to be believed. It is claimed that Valencia's Yunus Musah is also on the verge of making the move to Milan.

The Rossoneri are said to have reached personal terms with the 20-year-old on a four-year contract. Only negotiations over a transfer fee remain, with Milan hoping to strike a deal for €20 million - in line with his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €21.6m - while Valencia are trying to get €30m.

The central midfielder recorded two assists in 33 LaLiga outings last season as Valencia once again disappointed, finishing in a meagre 14th.

Sergino Dest became the first American to make a Serie A appearance for Milan last season. Oguchi Onyewu was previously with the Rossoneri as well, but he famously never managed to get on the pitch in the league.
