Borussia Dortmund chief Michael Zorc admits Chelsea didn't have a free run at signing Christian Pulisic.
Chelsea were not the only club willing to spend big on Pulisic, according to Zorc.
“I have to say that there was at least one more club that would have been willing to pay a sum of this magnitude," he said.
The USA international signed for the Blues at the beginning of the January market ahead of being loaned back to BVB.
Zorc also confirmed Dortmund would look to replace Pulisic when he officially joins Chelsea in the summer.
