Dortmund are prepared to let him leave on loan but have firmly turned away any interest in a permanent switch.

Pulisic, 17, is already a full US international but will have to contend with Marco Reus, Andre Schurrle, Ousmane Dembele and Emre Mor for first-team football.

Dad Mark has insisted his son had no interest in leaving Dortmund despite being down the pecking order.

He said: “Christian has no interest in leaving the club. He had a good half year last season, and wants to continue to break through.”

Pulisic became the youngest player to score a Bundesliga brace last season and boss Thomas Tuchel is believed to be keen to secure a loan deal to let him continue improving.

The winger has two years left on his contract and is considered to have the potential to develop into a world-class winger in future.
