Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze is currently facing an uncertain future at Italian Serie A side AC Milan, with reports linking him with a summer move following an underwhelming spell at the Giuseppe Meazza.
The 26-year-old Nigerian has been put on sale by the Rosonerri, as they source for some much-needed funds to facilitate a major squad rebuild ahead of next season.
Chukwueze, who arrived from Spanish La Liga outfit Villarreal in the summer of 2023, has struggled to establish himself as a regular due to injuries and limited playing time. The lack of consistency has seen the club’s hierarchy decide on his future, which is to do away with the attacker during the off-season.
Italian media outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Chukwueze is one of the prominent names expected to depart Lombardy ahead of a major overhaul, with Milan said to be willing to listen to offers.
Milan’s decision to sell stems from the fact that they endured an embarrassing 2024/25 campaign, in which they finished eighth on the Serie A table and ultimately missed out on European football for next season.
Chukwueze’s travails in his two seasons at Milan are well documented. He struggled to secure a starting berth last term, featuring in a total of 26 league appearances, of which he started only nine times and contributed three goals plus two assists.
Despite his low attacking returns, all is not gloomy for the Nigerian as Spanish La Liga outfit Real Betis have been rumoured to be interested in his services.
