This afternoon, AC Milan’s summer funds have been improved, thanks to the pending sale of one of its loanees – Samuel Chukwueze.
There has been a lot said about Milan’s loanees this season, and how they would potentially provide a lot of riches in the summer. Of course, this is all hypothetical until it happens, though. However, the first step has been made today.
Chukwueze to go
As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, via MilanNews, contact has been made between Fulham and the Rossoneri, with the East London outfit stating their intention to buy the Nigerian winger in the summer.
Of course, a buy clause was inserted into the deal, which is valued at €24 million, and it is unlikely that that will be changed. If it is, though, it is unlikely that the club would take anything less than €20m from Fulham or any other suitors.
In terms of his future, it is difficult to see a role for Chukwueze at San Siro, given Massimiliano Allegri’s constant usage of the 3-5-2. Put simply, Chukwueze is not someone who would benefit from playing in this system.
So, the news of Fulham’s intentions is only good from a Diavolo perspective. Hopefully, others on loan will also have confirmations of their future, too, so the planning can really begin.
