American winger Christian Pulisic has informed Chelsea that he does not want to go to Lyon.
The United States international is a hot target for several clubs in the transfer window.
For their part, Chelsea are eager to sell, but The Mail states that Pulisic has said no to the French giants.
A move to AC Milan is more appealing, given their history and the pedigree of Serie A.
However, Milan have offered a much lower fee to Chelsea, which means the two clubs will have to keep negotiating.
Lyon's offer of £21 million is nearly double, but the player has no interest in Ligue 1.
