Super Eagles star Samuel Chukwueze could be set for another big move this summer after Turkish giants Trabzonspor reportedly submitted a €15 million (about ₦23 billion) offer to AC Milan for the Nigerian winger, Soccernet.ng reports.
Trabzonspor are deep in the process of rebuilding their squad ahead of the 2026/27 season after already completing eight signings. The club now wants to strengthen its attack and believes Chukwueze is the right player to improve the right wing.
Reports from Turkey claim the 27-year-old is one of the club's top transfer targets. Trabzonspor are also said to be discussing a deal that could include an obligation to buy if certain conditions are met.
Chukwueze is still under contract with AC Milan until 2028, after returning from an unsuccessful loan spell at Fulham. Milan signed the Nigerian from Villarreal in 2023 for €21.1 million after he became one of La Liga's most exciting wingers. Villarreal had originally bought him from Nigeria for just €500,000 in 2017, making his rise one of the club's biggest transfer successes.
Last season, Chukwueze spent time on loan at Fulham in the Premier League, where he scored three goals and provided four assists in 23 league matches. His pace, dribbling ability and dangerous left foot have kept him attractive to clubs across Europe.
Trabzonspor chasing four trophies with Super Eagles stars
Trabzonspor are preparing for a demanding season in which they will compete in four major competitions. They have qualified for the Turkish Süper Lig, Turkish Cup, Turkish Super Cup and the UEFA Europa League after winning last season's Turkish Cup.
The club already has a strong Nigerian presence with striker Paul Onuachu, defender Chibuike Nwaiwu and experienced winger Anthony Nwakaeme. They have also been linked with another Nigerian forward, Rafiu Durosinmi.
Adding Chukwueze would further strengthen that Nigerian core and give Trabzonspor another proven attacking option as they aim to challenge for domestic honours and make an impact in Europe.
No agreement has been reached yet, and AC Milan have not publicly responded to the reported €15 million bid. The coming days are expected to determine whether negotiations move forward and if Chukwueze's next chapter will be in Turkish football.
