The situation surrounding Samuel Chukwueze is heating up and there is a real possibility that he leaves AC Milan this summer.
That is according to Calciomercato.com, who write that Chukwueze is highly sought after abroad. Not only that, but they add that one of his agents is currently in Istanbul for meetings with Turkish clubs regarding a potential move.

Besiktas had already made contact with Milan during the January transfer window to try and strike a deal over the Nigeria international. Now the Istanbul-based side are back in the thick of things, but the financial terms offered to Milan aren’t considered satisfactory.
Fenerbahce are also in talks with the former Villarreal player’s entourage. At the moment, though, these are only exploratory discussions because no offer has been presented to Milan.
Chukwueze’s stance
For his part, Chukwueze would like to stay at Milan and convince Allegri, but the club is open to hearing offers. The most likely option is Fulham, with intermediaries working to find the right financial terms, so news is expected in the coming days.
In a recent interview given to Milan TV, the forward made it clear that he is enjoying working with the new coach and that he continues to play with a smile.
“Coach Allegri is a great coach, everyone knows that; he’s won a lot in his career. And being here now, he wants to win trophies with Milan too. He’s a great coach; he knows what he wants. He works with the players, he knows how to interact with them, he knows what the players want and what he needs.
“He’s a great coach, both defensively and offensively. We just have to keep working with him and try to do what he asks of us. You can’t do things your own way; you have to listen to the coach. If we do that, we’ll get results.”
anything starting from 15M is worth… Fulham seems most realistic
I’d like to sell him too, he’s got some talent but never really established himself here. I could see him being a success in a different league but I’d expect to get at least what we paid for him on an expiring contract at Villareal.
With the clubs reportedly sniffing around reckon we’ll get a €20-25mn fee.
no one is paying 20-25M
15-18M is gonna be max and we will be lucky if it’s not initially a loan, but just direct sale
15m and he can go. He is not good player,he is good with dribling but passing and finishing is terible.
His time is over here i hope
Hector fort, Barca young defender value 8-10m. I think he’s talent already and more cheaper than unknown soldier like Doue. We all already knows how good Barca academy graduated. Milan hope will catch him. Asap
Sell chuku, buy Fede
If they want to get good money for him, Musah, Terraciano, and co., the coach needs to use them in their preferred positions to bring out the best in them in the preseason games. If they do well, the returns from their sales will at least be reasonable.
