As opposed to reports from earlier today, Samuel Chukwueze’s move to Fulham should not be a permanent one, but rather on loan to begin with.
This morning, or late last night rather, Matteo Moretto broke the news that Milan and Fulham were in advanced talks over Chukwueze. The winger has been on the English side’s list for quite some time and now, contacts have finally been initiated between the clubs.

The journalist stated that the clubs were discussing a permanent move worth around €25m, including bonuses. However, it seems the formula could end up being a loan with an option to buy, along with an obligation that is triggered if certain goals are met.
Formula changes
As reported by Moretto in his latest video, published this afternoon, the parties are ‘very close’ to completing the transfer. Chukwueze has already said yes and is expected to get a hefty salary of €3m per season, although that is actually a bit lower than his Milan deal.
The formula, meanwhile, is still a bit up in the air as the clubs are evaluating whether to proceed with a permanent one or an initial loan deal. The most likely option, for the time being at least, is a paid loan with an option to buy and easy conditions to trigger an obligation to buy.
It’s perhaps not what Milan fans would have liked to hear but as long as the conditions are easy, the money will still arrive in the 2025-26 financial year.
As a Fulham fan too, I have a mixed feelings now 😀
Better than nothing.
We are just postponing getting rid of him for another season. At least we will save on his salary, I have a feeling he will end up leaving on a free transfer as his contract runs out. Chuk, Bennacer, Adli are not truly wanted by any clubs. Musah is the only one that attracts interests.
So only puli and Gimenez vs lecce? This is ridiculous
That’s our attack. What happens if one of them gets injured or both of them? Absolutely shambolic
Allegri’s master plan. If we have no attacking players then he can play 5 defenders and 5 midfielders every match. His dream come true. get ready for some exciting football this season. Milan taking the game back about 20 years. Maybe when this doesn’t work out we can try and sign Mourinho, as long as we are hiring coaches who the game has passed by a long time ago.
They have no choice at this point. They have to go all in for harder and vlahovic both. Otherwise we have literally no depth whatsoever up top.
I think that was always the plan…
Leao/Harder – Vlahovic/Gimenez
Estupinan/Jimenez – Jashari/Rabiot – Ricci/Fofana – Puli/Modric/RLC – Alexis/Jimenez*/Athekame
Ricci/Fofana deep-lying CDMs, ball-distribution; (Fofana too slow and indecisive to be up front)
Puli/Modric/RLC box-crashing and/or creativity, depending who is there; (Modric can’t be box-crasher while RLC creativity is same as of a rock)
Jashari/Rabiot to fill in the gaps… (most all-rounders we have/gonna have)
only 2 gambles in mercato: (Harder and Athekame). imo, Savona (going to Nottingham for pennies) and a quality attacker, someone like Lookman, would have made a statement… but we are ACM now… American Calculator Ministry
and tbh Estupinan seems like one as well… hope it’s just the initial jitters cause the debut was embarrassing
Akanji for 17-18M seems like a great choice if City are selling (maybe even ask for less after the burglary with Tiji?!)
What kind of video game you play bro ? 😂😂
Evidently the kind of game where a team’s top scorer over the last two years, Serie A too for that matter, has to share a position.
Puli, Leao and Maignon – the only guaranteed starters from week to week. The rest should have regular rotation.
Pulisic doesn’t not fit in Allegri’s system. I would suggest that it is wise to keep Chuck as Pulisic is not signing an extension and he will push to leave next summer. Not doing it now as it is a WC year. He is not going to have a very productive year being played out of position.
“Pulisic doesn’t not fit in Allegri’s system”
Allegri isn’t that dumb. He’ll adjust his systems to be able to use Leao & Pulisic accordingly.
He take good drugs i think 😂😂
Where were you after the game? Seems like you’re only interested in the transfer market/getting your football manager fix. What formation we playing again? You love these signings so much yet they’re still not even functional
Harder is delayed for your information. No one want come at Milan 😂
I don’t get it, are we selling all our attackers without finding a replacement first? Hello?
after weird moves with Harder, Hojlund and Boniface… it might have been just all optics to get Vlahovic at the final day of mercato.
The way this is going, theyll need to play Adli and Origi soon…
I’m not a huge fan of Chuku, but who exactly are our attacking players? We have 2 wingers on the squad in Leao and Pulisic. I knew Allegri was a defensive minded coach but this is ridiculous. And he’s just trying to bring in more midfielders when we already have about 8 on the squad already. Does he plan on playing with 6 midfielders every match? We need some attacking players unless we are counting on Pavlovic to score for us every match.
Allegri will use Fofana’s (aka new Lampard) long shot & Rubeninho (aka the Tractor) in RW/LW/CF rotation as secret weapon
I wouldnt have let him go. Now we need two attacking players.
Loan 😂😂😂😂😂
Milan is in trouble, we want to buy herder who has not score more than 6 goals in his professional career but sold Okafor who’s more better than him.
Now we want to sell chukwueze without replacement.
Which weeds do Milan management and coaches are smoking
I think this new management are on a mission to destroy the club and put an end to whatever history the club has built over the decades.
Chunks will leave because now it is clear that Milan is not a true club with integrity after the nonsense stunts they pulled with Boniface. If this continue, we will be like Manchester United where players reject joining the club.
We don’t have a plan. Now that Ibrahimovic is no longer involved, the whole set up is messed up. It was a mistake to have sack Maldini. We were building something and now all that is over. We are back in the banter era officially.
Terrible mercato. The worst I have seen in over 15 years.
