AC Milan wants Chukwueze after Loftus-Cheek’s arrival

After signing Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea, AC Milan seems ready to add a winger to their squad as they are ready to start capturing the signature of Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze.

The winger who plies his trade with the La Liga side has been linked with several clubs with his mesmerizing performance in the Spanish League. He has been a headache to many defenses due to his dribbling, creativity, and goalscoring ability.

The Serie A giant seems ready to open negotiations with Villarreal in the coming days to get the winger.

The Rossoneri want to bolster Stefano Pioli’s frontline this summer. This is why they want to bring in a new right winger, capable of adding an extra layer to the attack.

Chukwueze, according to reports, has been Milan’s top target. This has made the club believe he has all the qualities needed to make a difference: pace, power, creativity, and finishing.

According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Milan has already reached a verbal agreement with the pacy winger, having found common ground on his salary and the length of the deal.

Next, they need to contact Villarreal to start negotiating a deal.

Reports in Spain said The Yellow Submarines want €30m for the 24-year-old with a year left on his contract.

Milan could start negotiations with an offer of €20m, willing to raise the figures further through add-ons.

Getting Chukwueze for such a figure could be seen as a steal judging by the inflation rate of the transfer market, as several clubs now pay considerable sums to get their top targets.
