Villareal turn down Atletico offer for Nigerian striker

Villareal has turned down an offer from fellow spanish club, Atletico Madrid for Samuel Chukwueze.

According to Owngoalnigeria, Villareal’s newly appointed coach rejected a bid of about €40 million from Atletico, as he plans to hold on to the talented player.

There are also other reports claiming Chukwueze has received an offer from Villareal for a contract extension.

These reports also suggest that Atletico isn’t the only club interested in the 19-year-old, saying English clubs including Arsenal and Leicester City have made contact with the player already.
