AC Milan have Samuel Chukwueze as their number one target for the right wing position and Stefano Pioli has held personal talks with him, a report claims.
According to this morning’s La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan want Chukwueze because of his pace, his dribbling and his ability to beat his man in one-on-one situations, but it will not be an easy pursuit.
Just like with the other targets, Milan’s plan is to find an agreement with the player first – which has been achieved – and then with his club.
Milan have spoken with the winger’s entourage plenty and Pioli also called him, from which it emerged there is a mutual desire for the move to take place.
Villarreal want at least €25m plus bonuses to sell the Nigeria international and at present they are not worrying about the fact that in a year he would leave on a free transfer.
Daichi Kamada can become a factor too. Milan have chosen Ruben Loftus-Cheek as their first non-EU player and for the second they have to choose: Chukwueze is the first choice but with Kamada there has already been a handshake.
