Milan open to Chukwueze exit if Fulham add obligation to buy | OneFootball

Fulham are reportedly prepared to sign Samuel Chukwueze from Milan on loan with an option to buy that could become an obligation if certain conditions are met.

It remains to be seen if the terms will be suitable for the Rossoneri or indeed the player, who has struggled to make an impact at San Siro.

Chukwueze was purchased from Villarreal in the summer of 2023 for €21.1m plus up to another €7m in add-ons.

However, his contribution of eight goals and six assists in 69 competitive appearances was considered unsatisfactory.

Sky Sport Italia had already reported that Milan were looking towards Vasco da Gama talent Rayan if Chukwueze was to be sold.
