Christian Pulisic is a name on the AC Milan agenda and negotiations are ongoing. The American forward who has a Croatian passport, has a year left in his contract. According to details from TheAthletic.com, Lyon have sent in a bid in the region of 25 million euros, (as explained here).
According to L'Equipe, though, Lyon are under scrutiny by the financial board of Ligue 1 because the American group that acquired the team is facing liquidity problems.
As relayed by Milannews.it, the Lyon club owners must present a business plan and financial guarantees to obtain approval for their participation in the league. Lyon is in negotiations with the The National Management Control Directorate (referred to as DNCG in France) to establish an economic plan and obtain their approval. Therefore, it seems complicated for Lyon (which is also outside of the Champions League and Europe in general) to present an offer of 25 million for a player whose contract expires in a year while going through a financially challenging period.
