Not this season, but as his next move.
EPL, with their NBCSN deal, have good access to the American market. Serie A and La Liga not as good. Getting player on your team like Pulisic would do wonders for American market penetration of say Roma.
market pays for series A/La Liga for one player. At least we can understand the language of epl color men
as it currently has no rights in the US. Think ESPN might get it after Roma owner last night said this:
I've watched a lot of Serie A matches on beIN.
It just expired after this past season, see link
They always carry the big 3 in La Liga (Real, Barca, Atletico) and most of the Juve, Roma, and Napoli games. They also carry quite a few PSG and Marseille games.
Ray Hudson is the main color guy for them.
I would love to see Pulisic in La Liga for either Atletico or Valencia.
Valencia is a CLEAR demotion and Athletico is a lateral move at best considering they have Greizmann who is a very similar player. But if the pieces are right (playing beside Ronaldo is nice) Juve and Roma could be a slight move up in terms of making him a star.
But nothing there screams "better than Bundesliga". Unless the money is insane, Dortmund is still a good spot for him. I'd move to EPL or Juve, nowhere else outside of Bundesliga. Hell even playing for Schalke looks better than a move to non-Barca/Real in la Liga, although the local press would rip him to pieces for that Rivierderby defection.
Seems lateral at best.
