Chelsea will face a fight if they still want to pursue a deal to sign Christian Pulisic, with the news that Bayern Munich have made him their top priority.
The American prodigy has captivated the world of European football in recent months, and through nine appearances for Borussia Dortmund this season, the 20-year-old has recorded three goals and two assists.
Chelsea have also been very keen on the player in recent months, with reports claiming the Blues could make a move for him if Eden Hazard departs for Real Madrid.
A Bild report (relayed by Calciomercato) has claimed the Bundesliga champions are interested in signing Pulisic from their in-division rivals, in a move that would see the winger head the same way as former BVB stars Mats Hummels, Robert Lewandowski, and Mario Gotze.
A recruitment battle between Liverpool and Bayern would likely be a heavyweight clash for the ages, with each club flexing the might of its financial power and historical pedigree in an effort to convince Pulisic they are the right choice for the next step in his career.
