AC Milan will reportedly demand around €45-50 million to sell Samuel Chukwueze, with Everton leading the race to sign the 25-year-old winger from the Serie A club.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Samuel Chukwueze is the subject of interest from Everton. The Toffees are keen on signing a winger in the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the AC Milan attacker. Meanwhile, the Serie A giants want around €45-50 million to part ways with the 25-year-old.
The Samuel Chukwueze story
Samuel Chukwueze has not had the best of starts at AC Milan since arriving at San Siro from Villarreal last summer. The African winger was one of the best young prospects in La Liga for a long time before deciding to end his stint with the Yellow Submarine and join the Rossoneri.
However, the 25-year-old was not at his best for the Serie A giants, managing only three goals and three assists in 33 appearances across all competitions, although he racked up less than 1,500 minutes of game time. Meanwhile, Chukwueze’s adventure with AC Milan might end after only one year, with the Serie A giants ready to cash in on him.
The Nigerian international does not have a shortage of suitors pursuing his signature in the summer transfer window, with many well-known clubs keen on signing him. The Premier League, where high-profile clubs chased him last year, might be his next destination, with Everton leading the race to secure Samuel Chukwueze’s services.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Everton’s interest in Samuel Chukwueze is understandable. The Toffees re-signed Jack Harrison on loan earlier in the summer transfer window but remain in the market for another wide attacker after Arnaut Danjuma’s ill-fated loan spell at Goodison Park ended. So, several candidates, including Wilfried Gnonto, have emerged on Everton’s radar.
However, Chukwueze is also a viable target for the Merseyside club, with the report pinpointing them as the front-runners in the race to sign the AC Milan winger. Meanwhile, the Serie A giants are demanding around €45-50 million to part ways with the 25-year-old in the summer transfer window.
It will be interesting to see if the Toffees are willing to cough up €45-50 million to secure Samuel Chukwueze’s services in the summer transfer window. However, it will not be surprising to see the Nigerian international leaving AC Milan in the coming weeks.
