Italian Serie A giants AC Milan are set to make a €3 million (₦5.3 billion) profit from the permanent sale of Samuel Chukwueze to Fulham, Soccernet.ng reports.
Chukwueze joined AC Milan from Villarreal in a deal worth €21.1 million in 2023. At the time of his arrival, he was expected to make a massive impact at the San Siro, given his stellar performances in Spain.
However, things did not go as planned. The 26-year-old winger struggled to find his rhythm under various coaches at AC Milan.
Due to his failure to impress, he was informed at the start of this season that he would not play a major role in the club's plans.
As a result, he moved to Fulham on a season-long loan deal, which includes an option-to-buy clause.
Since arriving at Craven Cottage, the Super Eagles star has been simply electric. He has been a shining light in the Cottagers' front line, contributing three goals and four assists in 12 appearances.
Coach Marco Silva has been thoroughly impressed by Chukwueze's resurgence, and if his form continues, there is a strong chance Fulham will trigger the permanent move.
AC Milan Confident of Finalizing Samuel Chukwueze Sale
According to Transfer News Live, AC Milan are growing increasingly confident that Fulham will push to make Samuel Chukwueze’s stay permanent at the end of the season.
AC Milan are confident Fulham will exercise their £21M option-to-buy for 26-year-old Nigeria winger Samuel Chukwueze, who is on loan at the Cottagers.

The Rossoneri are keen to offload the Super Eagles winger and have no intention of bringing him back into the squad.
The agreed fee between the two clubs is reportedly around €24.1 million, a price tag Fulham considers affordable. If the deal goes through, AC Milan will secure a €3 million profit on the player.
This represents excellent business for the Rossoneri, especially considering Chukwueze’s previous struggles in Italy.
Nonetheless, with the transfer window still a few months away, much could still change before a final agreement is signed.
