Fulham, Besiktas, and other Spanish clubs are reportedly linked to signing Samuel Chukwueze from AC Milan\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

The future of Samuel Chukwueze<\/a> at AC Milan<\/a> remains shrouded in uncertainty as the summer transfer window edges towards its final stretch, Soccernet.ng reports. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite interest from Fulham and several Spanish clubs<\/a>, the Super Eagles forward is yet to see a concrete offer materialise.<\/p>\n

Milan, who signed the Nigerian winger from Villarreal in the 2023 summer transfer window for around \u20ac21 million<\/a>, are open to his departure but only under the right terms.<\/p>\n

Financial demands\u2014no loan bid<\/a>\u2014coupled with tactical questions under new manager Massimiliano Allegri, have left Chukwueze\u2019s future hanging in the balance.<\/p>\n

Soccer Will Chukwueze Stay at AC Milan?<\/h2>\n

Speaking exclusively to Soccernet.ng<\/strong>, Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Marco Guidi shed light on the situation, revealing that no formal offer has yet been tabled.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAt the moment, he stays in Milan because no bid has arrived for him. AC Milan, at the moment, don\u2019t want to sell him on loan, only through a transfer,\u201d Guidi revealed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Serie A giants are said to be holding out for a fee in the region of \u20ac20\u201325 million, which has so far discouraged concrete bids.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe asking price is around \u20ac20\u201325 million, not less. So, for now, he stays at AC Milan,\u201d Guidi added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While Fulham are exploring the possibility of signing the Super Eagles star, they face stiff competition from clubs in Spain.<\/p>\n

However, Chukwueze\u2019s hefty wage demands\u2014reportedly around \u20ac4 million net per season\u2014are proving to be a stumbling block.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere is interest from Fulham and also from some Spanish teams, but the problem is that he earns about \u20ac4 million net each season. It\u2019s not so easy to sell a player with that salary, and Milan won\u2019t let him go on loan,\u201d Guidi explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Beyond the financial aspects, Chukwueze also faces a tactical challenge at San Siro. Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri is set on sticking with his current system, which may not suit the Nigerian\u2019s style of play.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the issue, and the other problem is that if Allegri continues with the current tactical model, it won\u2019t be so easy to find a place for Chukwueze,\u201d Guidi concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chukwueze joined AC Milan from Villarreal in 2023 in a deal worth around \u20ac20 million, but he has struggled for consistency in Serie A.<\/p>\n

His future at the club remains uncertain with the transfer window edging closer to its conclusion. However, the football world awaits how the transfer saga will play out in the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
