AC Milan may yet sign another forward after Victor Boniface, with Fulham pursuing a late deal for Samuel Chukwueze.
The future of Chukwueze has been under the spotlight all summer and perhaps even beyond that, given that Fulham were also linked with a move for the Nigerian during the winter transfer window as well.

After arriving from Villarreal as the most expensive signing of the 2023 summer mercato, Chukwueze never really hit the ground running and found starts hard to come by because of Christian Pulisic’s amazing form.
Late movement on the right?
According to what Matteo Moretto is reporting, Fulham are actively pursuing Chukwueze and have been in the past few hours. Now, we must see if in the next few hours or days the London club make an offer for a permanent deal.
Another addition to the Milan attack could arrive if Chukwueze leaves. Though no names are mentioned, Sky did state that Rayan of Vasco da Gama is a name to keep an eye on, a young Brazilian right winger.
With Milan having lost Noah Okafor but being seemingly on the verge of adding Victor Boniface – a pure No.9 – the exit of Chukwueze would leave them a bit light on the flanks, even if Alexis Saelemaekers and Alex Jimenez can play there.
Moving fast up the scapegoat list, but if we haven’t already identified and worked on sourcing an upgrade then I’d prefer him to stay.
He’ll be inconsistent but he’ll also have his moments as a line-breaker and he’s the only left-footed winger we have.
He’s paid more than his performances for us deserve and I can understand why we’d take an offer, but if the aim is to use wingers at various points he’s an asset to have. Quickly scrabbling for a replacement or trying to use Musah as a winger again… not for me.
You have said all
Fulham about to get a fan for life along with Chukwueze
please pavk and go
If we want him make an offer we’re so slow at making our minds up. Should of done all there thinking by now time for action unless it’s media drivel
There is probably is a player in the Primavera or Futuro who would at least not battle with sidelines.
Sell him
Selling Chucky and Gimenez to fund Vlahovic or Höjlund would proably be better overall concidering how Allegri wants to play, and what type of players he wants.
Jimenez/Saelesmaekers can fill in on both as lwf and rwf behind Leao/Pulisic if we end up playing 3-4-3.
If we play 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1 we dont need forward wingers, just wingbacks, and we got 4-5 of those.
Even Chukwueze out ans Rayan in, nothing is a guarantee so perhaps Rayan won’t be a success but I’ve seen enough of Chucky that hes ok but not amazing. Samu is unlikely to be the next Lookman or Kvaradona that explodes one day and becomes a world better.
Rayan has a contract expiring in a year, and arguably higher upside. Plus the youngster can learn from Leao / Pulisic wouldn’t need to deliver immediately.
The next Lookman, please be serious for just 1 moment, slow-can’t drrible-cant pass-can’t shoot, you expect he will turn into LOOKMAN within 2 years, he is already 26 yo with a 4,5 millions salary.
Unlikely sir unlikely….
Chukwueze is way past his development stage. This is the “best” he will ever get, he might be more effective under a specific system but this is all he will ever give you, and you have seen it all. He needs to move away.
AGREE… SELL … GOOD LUCK !
No one actually came with a solid offer yet, doubt any offer will come.
if any offer comes with Milan not losing money, they should take it without any negotiation…
