Dortmund prefer to sell Pulisic to Liverpool
Liverpool hold a major advantage over Arsenal in the race to sign Christian Pulisic in that Borussia Dortmund would prefer to sell him to Jurgen Klopp.
Fenway Sports Group are keen to sign Pulisic as they want to have an American star at Anfield looking ahead to the future.
Pulisic has only made 27 appearances for Borussia Dortmund for the Bundesliga giants but the 18-year-old has been consistently linked with a move to Merseyside since making his debut earlier this year.
Jurgen Klopp had high hopes for the young winger at the Westfalenstadion and is understood to be desperate to be reunited with him once again.
Sport Bild suggest FSG are fond of seeing a United States international at Anfield for the long-term and see Pulisic as the perfect player to come in.
The teenager has been prolific for the United States’ age groups, most notably scoring 20 goals in 34 appearances for their Under-17 side.
It’s believed Arsenal and Tottenham are also keeping close tabs on the highly-rated attacking midfielder.
However, Liverpool are confident Klopp’s close relationship with Pulisic could help get a deal over the line.
