Real Madrid to wait on Pulisic

Pulisic in action for the USA in the World Cup Qualifiers

The 19-year-old U.S.A international who has been impressive in Europe and on the international front had garnered interest from the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool. However, it is highly unlikely that Pulisic will leave Dortmund in the near future.

But Los Blancos are willing to be patient and sign the youngster at a later time. Real Madrid have been investing in young talent for a while now but Pulisic will be wary of the fact that he'll see only limited game time at the Bernabeu.
