Super Eagles attacker Samuel Chukwueze has been a major subject of AC Milan’s transfer news in recent weeks, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Nigerian international spent last season on loan at Fulham, but the Premier League club opted not to make the deal permanent despite having a €26 million purchase option.
According to recent reports, the Rossoneri are currently in talks with Fulham regarding a potential reduction in the fee, though no concrete agreement has been reached.
In the meantime, Chukwueze has returned to the Rossoneri squad. However, speculation surrounding his future continues, further intensified by the club’s recent appointment of Ruben Amorim as head coach.
AC Milan Transfer News: Chukwueze’s Situation Under Ruben Amorim
The Rossoneri announced Ruben Amorim as their new manager earlier this week. As is expected with a tactically rigid manager, significant changes to the roster are anticipated.
Chukwueze could be one of the players affected by this transition. According to Italian football specialist Luca Cerchione, the club views Chukwueze as a sellable asset, though they are prepared to let him leave only if a suitable offer arrives.
His situation differs from that of Rafael Leão, Youssouf Fofana, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who are reportedly considered surplus to requirements.
This suggests that while Chukwueze could remain in Milan, he risks a reduced role on the fringes of the squad. It is unlikely that the Super Eagles star would be satisfied with such limited playing time.
With two years remaining on his contract, AC Milan will need to manage his situation carefully to protect his market value and avoid the prospect of losing him as a free agent in the future.
