Reports indicate that Fulham is poised to trigger their option to permanently sign Samuel Chukwueze, a decision that would inject €24 million into AC Milan’s finances.
Chukwueze joined AC Milan from Villarreal in 2023 for an initial fee of €21.1 million, with potential for an additional €7 million in add-ons. However, his tenure at San Siro was largely underwhelming, as he struggled to establish himself, netting only eight goals and providing six assists across 70 official appearances for the Rossoneri.
Fulham Content with Chukwueze’s Impact
Last season, the winger was loaned to Fulham with a purchase option. Despite a modest return of three goals and four assists in 19 competitive matches for the London club, it is understood that Fulham is satisfied with his impact and intends to make the deal permanent.
This transfer would provide a significant financial uplift for AC Milan, securing €24 million in fresh capital. A notable moment during the Nigeria international’s time at Fulham has been his impressive brace against Manchester City in a Premier League fixture.
