I reckon some other club is in for him and they're using Arsenal to drive up the bid. Ospina leaving for 3.5MM euros.
Brucey stay with a job.

65 million Euros is far too much for Pulisic. He had one good season with Dortmund and this season has been largely 2nd fiddle to Sancho.
Hard to see him displace Chelsea’s current wingers. He needs at least another good year or 2 for development before jumping to a club like Chelsea.
I think it’d be better for Pulisic to go to an Everton/Leicester to learn the EPL before jumping to Chelsea.
However, doing that kind of “dilutes” his brand with Chelsea.
I just feel like this was a marketing/media play for Chelsea.
Besides, Chelsea’s biggest issue isn’t on the wings but up top. 65 mill could fetch them Icardi (your favorite striker’s favorite striker
).

Joke club.
Those loans work, though:
- The player gets first team football
- The smaller clubs get a top quality player for next to nothing
- And, if it doesn't work out for the player at Chelsea, the club invariably earns a profit
