Pulisic: 'One day I'd love to come back to the U.S.'

Borussia Dortmund and American midfielder Christian Pulisic revealed he’s thought about MLS and an eventual return to home soil, but is perfectly happy living out his dream of playing in Europe for the time being.

“Yeah, it’s actually something I’ve thought about,” Pulisic said in a Facebook chat for U.S. Soccer. “Of course it was always my dream to play soccer in Europe and that’s what I’ve been doing but one day I’d love to come back to the U.S.”

The Hershey, Pa. native is regarded as one of the most elite young players in the world, and his stock has risen steadily since joining the Bundesliga side in 2015.

“I think with soccer you never really know what’s going to happen in your career,” Pulisic continued. “I think that’s the beauty of it, but right now I’m with Dortmund and I’m very happy. I’m earning my spot and working hard in that team, so that’s my answer.”

Pulisic would certainly fetch a pretty penny on the global transfer market, but Dortmund has made it clear the star teenager is not for sale right now. Plus, Pulisic said he’s adjusting well to life in Germany.

“I love living in Dortmund actually,” he said on the topic of life abroad. “It may not be the biggest city but I love our fans. They’re so passionate and it’s been amazing to be in the city and just surrounded, seeing how much they care. Everybody’s got their jerseys on. It’s amazing.”

Pulisic has appeared 18 times for Dortmund this year, and although he only has two goals and six assists, he’s quickly becoming an integral part of the system under Thomas Tuchel.

And, perhaps one day, Pulisic will ply his trade on home soil.

“I’m hoping that the sport continues to grow,” he added. “I guess I would love to be home and play soccer. It’d be amazing.”
