AC Milan is reportedly open to parting ways with Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira, the Rossoneri no longer consider the 24-year-old a key part of their project, paving the way for a potential exit.
Chukwueze’s Struggles at Milan
Chukwueze arrived at San Siro in July 2023 from Villarreal, signing a contract that runs until June 2028. Milan invested heavily in the winger, spending around €20 million to secure his services. However, he has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under Stefano Pioli, facing stiff competition in Milan’s attacking setup.

Injuries and inconsistent form have limited his impact, and he has failed to replicate the performances that made him a standout player at Villarreal. With Milan looking to revamp their squad, reports indicate that the club is willing to offload Chukwueze for a fee between €13 million and €18 million, or consider a loan move.
Potential Destinations
Chukwueze’s availability has attracted interest from La Liga clubs, with Real Sociedad, Villarreal, and Sevilla reportedly monitoring his situation. A return to Spain, where he previously excelled, could provide the Super Eagles winger with the platform to regain his best form.
Milan’s Squad Overhaul
Milan has been active in the transfer market, reinforcing key areas in their squad. The Rossoneri have already brought in Kyle Walker, Santiago Giménez, João Félix, Riccardo Sottil, and Warren Bondo, demonstrating their ambition to challenge for domestic and European honors. The potential departure of Chukwueze could be part of this restructuring process.
What Next for Chukwueze?
As the summer transfer window approaches, Chukwueze’s future remains uncertain. While AC Milan may be willing to move on from the Nigerian international, his next step will be crucial in determining whether he can revive his career at a new club.
For now, all eyes will be on potential suitors and whether a return to La Liga or a new challenge in another top European league materializes.
