Chelsea could see a benefit in selling Christian Pulisic to AC Milan, according to the latest reports.
The Athletic have stated that the Blues have attached sell-on clauses to a number of their departures during the summer transfer window.
The publication reports that when negotiating the departures of Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Callum Hudson-Odoi and several others, the club insisted on a sell-on clause.

Pulisic left the London side for Milan in a deal worth up to €22 million. If the player does well over the next couple of years and the Serie A giants do decide to sell him, Chelsea will be given a sum of that payment, though how much is not clear.
Chelsea flop
The winger joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in 2019 for €64m. He had a successful first season at Stamford Bridge, netting 11 goals in all competitions out of 34 games.

The 24-year-old even broke the record for the youngster Chelsea play to score a hat-trick, scoring three goals against Burnley in his debut year. But then the American’s form started to drop off - netting just a single goal in his final season for the club.
Chelsea had a mass exodus during this summer’s transfer window, with some 23 players either joining another club on a transfer or leaving after their contract ended.
Pulisic’s move to northern Italy represented the fifth-highest fee overall, while Chelsea ended up bringing in €257.4million through player sales.
The club also spent lavishly, with €464.1 spent on new recruits, including Moises Caicedo who joined for a British-record €116m from Brighton.
Pulisic appears to be enjoying life in Milan, having found the back of the net twice in three games for the club.
