Pulisic, 19, is rated as one of the best youngsters across Europe.

And now Real Madrid president Florentino Perez wants the winger to continue his development with the European and Spanish champions.

Reports in Spain claim Pulisic is now their No.1 transfer target having missed out on Kylian Mbappe.

Los Blancos were also thought to be after Ousmane Dembele who ended up leaving Dortmund for Barcelona in a staggering £110million deal.

Liverpool were desperate to land Pulisic this summer if Philippe Coutinho secured his dream move to Barcelona.

"What more can I say? I’m fully concentrated on the start of the season.

“I’m very happy in Dortmund. To be clear, I am not thinking about changing clubs.

“At the beginning of the year I finally extended my contract until 2020.

“Last season, I established myself in Dortmund with a European top club, which was always my dream as a young boy.”
