Primary Income Streams & Multi-Million Contracts

It's not the first time Chelsea has spent a lot of money on a transfer. It initially offered $91.5 million for former Real Madrid player Álvaro Morata, ultimately spending $75.2 million for the center-forward.

Dortmund will likely replace Pulisic with Jadon Sancho, who overtook the veteran on the depth chart earlier this season. Dortmund paid $10 million to Manchester City to acquire Sancho; they're receiving more than seven times that amount from Chelsea.

For now, Pulisic has pledged to give full effort to Dortmund. But in just a few matches, he'll be headed to an entirely new league – with his sights set on helping Chelsea win another title.
