Romano: Chukwueze to Milan ‘here we go’ – the details of the €28m operation

AC Milan have got a deal for Samuel Chukwueze over the line and he should soon arrive to undergo his medical, according to Fabrizio Romano.

After weeks of negotiating between Milan and Villarreal, Chukwueze has finally been given ‘here we go’ status by the journalist. The relevant documents are being exchanged and checked by the two sides, meaning it is only a matter of time.

Chukwueze will sign a long-term contract this week – valid until June 2028 – while the Rossoneri management have agreed a fee around €20m plus €8m in bonuses with their Spanish counterparts.

The Nigerian winger has a medical booked for later this week, after which he will sign his five-year contract and then will head out to the United States to join his team-mates on their preseason tour.

Milan have been in the market for a new right winger this summer and Chukwueze has always been the first choice, given he amassed 13 goals and 11 assists in all competitions last season for the Yellow Submarine.
