Christian Pulisic is 'among Liverpool's candidates' to replace Salah

Christian Pulisic's club-career revival has gone exceptionally well for Italian giants AC Milan. The United States men's national team star has five goals and two assists in his last six matches for the team. 

His days at the San Siro could be up soon, as Liverpool are planning a future without their biggest star, Mohamed Salah, with Pulisic reportedly a 'candidate' to fill those massive shoes. 

A move for Pulisic away from Serie A would come two seasons after he departed England amid massive club turnover at Chelsea. The possibility was first reported Italian outlet Calciomercato.it. 

Pulisic is entering the prime of his career at 26, even though he's been in the American soccer spotlight for a decade. 

The Hershey, Pennsylvania native has already played for a few big European clubs, moving from Borussia Dortmund to Chelsea in 2019. 

Christian Pulisic has been great recently for AC Milan, but a move to Liverpool looms next year

Pulisic has 31 goals in 73 career caps for the USMNT, making him a central figure as America hosts the World Cup in two years. 

With Mauricio Pochettino taking the helm of the Stars and Stripes, Pulisic has a manager at the national team level who knows what it is like to patrol a major European sideline for the first time since the waning days of Jurgen Klinsmann's tenure in 2016. 

Salah's departure at the end of this season is not confirmed, but has been rumored to be a move to Saudi Arabia, where the Egyptian can have his next lavish contract when turning 33 next June.  

Salah has been one of, if not, Liverpool's best player since joining the club in 2017. 

He's score 158 goals in 255 appearances for the club and helped the Reds win the UEFA Champions League in 2019. 

Pulisic's market value has likely skyrocketed since his $20million move from Chelsea last year. Liverpool have no problem being big spenders and it will cost the club a pretty penny to bring the American star back to England.
