AC Milan held a meeting with the agents of Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze yesterday and have received the green light from the player, a report claims.
According to what is being reported by Sky’s Gianluca Di Marzio (via SempreMilan.it), a discussions took place with Chukwueze’s agents yesterday afternoon at Casa Milan during which Geoffrey Moncada was present but Giorgio Furlani was not.
The meeting lasted from 14:30 to 16:20 at the club’s headquarters and Moncada was the one relaying Milan’s project to the entourage of the Nigerian winger.
He wanted to understand more about the numbers regarding the operation and specifically the salary demands of the 24-year-old, before then beginning negotiations with Villarreal.
Meanwhile, Sky add that Milan have already received the approval from Chukwueze’s entourage regarding the move, meaning he would welcome the destination.
The dialogue will now move to Spain with Moncada and Furlani expected to begin negotiations with the LaLiga club.
Not happening
Another Samuel from Villareal after Castillejo 😂
Jokes aside, he is a very dynamic and fast player, who can dribble well. Definetley an upgrade for our RW position.
15-20 mio would be a good price for him
The asking price is double than that.
Don’t like him. From what I’ve seen, he’s too one-footed, reminds me of Suso.
He will become predictable very soon.
Look at Leao, you never now which side he’ll go for, if you close the right foot as a defender, he has no issues going the other way and crossing or shooting with his left foot. That’s why he’s so dangerous.
How bout Roben, Messi, Rivaldo, Giggs, Van Persie .. They’re all one footed players and play at the highest level… If he can delivered with his one legged then he is good to go and from the matches i have watched and clips on youtube he is an upgrade in the right wing position and he also has work rate and recovers possession .
Leao unpredictable? He always goas left. Last game he scored a goal after cutting inside, but that was pretty much the first time he succeeded after going to his right.
He can give assist.
Kilroy, you are embarrassing yourself. Leao is one of the most unpredictable players alive, that is why defenders hate playing against him and he goes past 2,3 or more players. Read what people that understand football say about it and leave your uneducated thoughts to yourself. I’m just recommending it so you stop embarrassing yourself, but it is entertaining.
Absolute nonsense.
Leao is very predictable, so I don’t know what you’re talking about. The problem is that he is so quick and powerful that even if you know what he’s going to do, most of them time you can’t stop him. This is proven by the fact that when he has no space, he is very ineffective. Leao needs space and he needs the ball.
You don’t understand football, pal.
@Martin
I see from the stream of insults that you are very knowledgable about the subject. Remember to breathe friend.
I’d rather have Berardi or Zaniolo.
Orsolini might be even better, he scored a nice number of goals but he can dribble past players, something Berardi can’t. Zaniolo on the other hand doesn’t score that much goals but I like him but he would cost much more. The issue for Milan was that they couldn’t break when teams stay behind and have a “low block”. Berardi isn’t a player for that, he is slow for a winger and doesn’t go past players. I think 15M for Orsolini would be reasonable and a big upgrade for RW.
Even though i want Milan to succeed, this deal is NOT happening. First thing, Villareal finished 5th which means they’ll be playing Europa League next season and no what they will sell one of their best players for under 50MIL min, let alone 15-20 as report suggest. Second, we wont be seeing any top class players this mercato, only free agents and some youngsters, cause with a budget of 30Mil you cant expect anything special
Useless management!They are always lie to the fans.
Maybe we can offer cash + Messias or Salads..
Still not going to happen imo..
How are they going to buy anyone with 35 million in combine ?
Rumour like Botman Sanches part 2.
Why waste time on him when the club is asking 35-40M€ – which we simply cannot afford (without making a huge sale which would then hurt the other departments)?
So, Villareal will lose money because his agent said he would join Milan? 😀 He costs 40M, maybe 30M + bonuses but Milan will not pay that. Useless story.
Time is going very fast and the management is not serous. May be the window will close without doing anything. Liverpool concentrated on Alexis,they got him. Arsenal are concentrating on Rice, Caicedo and Gundogan may be they will have one of them soon. Madrid on Kane’s neck. Our kamada deal is fading. I think if Chikwueze’s deal is expensive. Let’s bring Berardi and SMS and close the chapter rather than bringing different options day in day out without concentrating on one player where’s time is really moving.
I see that we are all quite pessimistic about any serious transfers. And it is not surprising when the media writes about the management’s plans for savings and mentions some amounts for transfers at the disposal of some more serious second-division clubs in England! I don’t know how they mean to convince the Spaniards to accept an amount that will probably be at least half their requested amount. And I don’t think this conversation makes sense !
I am extremely pessimistic because of one thing Conte said: “You can’t eat at a 100€ restaurant if you only have 10€.” And that is what Milan is doing now, window shopping at 100€ places with only 10€ in their pocket and hoping that one of the store owners will feel sorry for them and give them something for 10€. It is embarrassing for a club of Milan’s history and tradition, at least it should be for real fans.
💯 TRUE brother
Ya the “important news” is what everyone already knows – he costs 35-40M and other clubs want him…..so NEXT
Either we are fkn clueless and incompetent or completely naive and inexperienced (Furlani, Moncada) OR ALL IF THE ABOVE – to not know who much these players cost and what salaries they want.
Furlani and Moncada do not have those relationships with the agencies that represent the players – so they are going after players we have ZERO intention of signing. And when they meet w the agents and find out the fees – they seem shocked LOL. An experienced director who have an idea what the players amd agents want – because they have EXISTING relationships with them and meet with various agents throughout the year(s). Furlani and Moncada do NOT have that experience as that is not their roles. So not having a sporting director with these essential contacts and relationships kills us.
HORRIBLE
